it decreases
The ball has both potential energy when it is thrown upward (due to its position) and kinetic energy when it falls (due to its motion). As it falls, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
When you toss a ball upward, the initial energy transformation is from mechanical energy (kinetic energy) to potential energy as the ball gains height. As the ball falls back down, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy as it accelerates towards the ground.
It will decrease if the object moves upward; decrease if the object moves downward.
In a waterfall, potential energy from the water at a higher elevation is converted into kinetic energy as the water falls. This kinetic energy can then be harnessed to do work, such as generating electricity through hydroelectric power plants.
As a parachute falls, its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is then dissipated through air resistance, resulting in the transformation of kinetic energy into thermal energy and sound. Overall, the energy transformations involve potential energy being converted into kinetic energy, then dissipated as thermal energy and sound.

The energy of a ball thrown upward primarily converts between potential energy and kinetic energy. As the ball gains height, its potential energy increases while its kinetic energy decreases. At the top of its trajectory, all of the energy is in the form of potential energy, and as it falls back down, potential energy converts back into kinetic energy.
In a waterfall, the potential energy of the water at a higher elevation is transformed into kinetic energy as it falls. This kinetic energy can then be converted into electrical energy if a hydroelectric generator is present at the base of the waterfall, harnessing the energy of the flowing water to produce electricity.
Yes, I believe so. As it gains upward momentum it is using thermal energy, and when it stops, and falls with gravity back to earth it is using kinetic energy. I think that's right.
The leaf does not fall straight down. It falls slowly because of air resistance. The air provides upward force. The upward force on the apple is negligible.
When a lump of clay is dropped, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy as it falls due to gravity. As the clay hits the ground, some of its kinetic energy is transformed into sound energy and heat energy due to the impact and friction between the clay and the surface. Overall, the energy transformations involved are potential energy to kinetic energy to sound and heat energy.
When the ball is thrown, energy is transferred from the person's muscles to the ball, giving it kinetic energy. As the ball reaches the highest height, this kinetic energy is converted into potential energy due to the upward motion against gravity. When the ball falls back down, this potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy as the ball accelerates downward due to gravity.
When the piano hits the ground, the potential energy stored in the piano due to its height above the ground is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. Upon impact, some of this kinetic energy is transformed into sound energy as the piano vibrates and produces sound waves, and the rest is dissipated as heat and sound energy due to the impact and friction.
