The total energy of a ball stays constant as it is thrown upward because potential energy increases while kinetic energy decreases. When the ball reaches its maximum height, the velocity is zero. Therefore, only potential energy exists rather than kinetic energy.

The thrower's movement imparts kinetic energy to a ball thrown vertically. The maximum height that can be achieved after leaving the hand will depend on the actual velocity. Air resistance causes some of this energy to be lost to the air as frictional dissipation, which warms the air in the area as well as the ball's surface.

We can just talk about how the ball moves when it is in the gravitational field of the Earth if we ignore this for the purposes of this discussion. The ball's total energy as it is released is comprised of both its gravitational potential energy and its kinetic energy, which result from the ball's velocity (due to its position).

The gravitational potential energy begins to rise as the ball moves vertically upward at precisely the same pace as it loses kinetic energy. The ball experiences a steady downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2, which causes it to initially decline until it briefly comes to a stop at its highest point.

Due to its current position in the Earth's gravitational field relative to its initial position, all of the energy at this point is gravitational potential energy. As the ball experiences constant downward acceleration, its motion immediately becomes apparent in that direction because the acceleration easily transforms gravitational potential energy back into kinetic energy.

As a result, at every point along the trajectory, the total of these interchangeable forms of energy remains constant.

Inga [223]
From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
                                           A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.
