Gordon throws a baseball into the air. It rises, stops when it reaches its greatest height, and then falls back down to the grou
nd. At what point does kinetic energy convert to potential energy?a. when the baseball is rising b. when the baseball is falling
c. just after the baseball hits the ground
d. while the baseball is stopped in the air
When an object like the baseball is thrown into the air, the kinetic energy is gradually converted into potential energy. When the baseball rises to its maximum height, the kinetic energy becomes zero and the kinetic energy is fully converted into potential energy.
