Answer:
C. The final kinetic energy is equal to the initial potential energy.
Explanation:
Based on the Principle of energy conservation:
Sum of the Initial Energy = Sum of the Final Energy
Initial Kinetic Energy + Initial Potential Energy = Final Kinetic Energy + Final Potential Energy..........(1)
Since according to the question:
Initial Kinetic Energy = 0
Final Potential Energy = 0
The equation (1) above reduces to
Initial Potential Energy = Final Kinetic Energy
