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.
The velocity of the ball is 16 feet/sec when it is thrown upward.
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.
The speed of a ball thrown upward upon striking the ground will be the same as the speed at which it was thrown, but in the opposite direction. The speed of a ball thrown downward upon striking the ground will be faster than the speed at which it was thrown due to the acceleration from gravity.
The initial velocity of the ball thrown upward at 16 ft per second is 16 ft/s.
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.

The velocity of a ball thrown upward at 16 ft/sec would be 16 ft/sec when it leaves the hand, but it will decrease due to gravity as it moves upward.
The only constant when a ball is thrown upward is the acceleration due to gravity acting in the opposite direction to the velocity of the ball. Other factors, such as air resistance and the initial velocity of the ball, may change as the ball moves.
A ball thrown upward is not considered a free falling body because it initially moves against gravity. Free falling bodies accelerate downward due to gravity alone, while a ball thrown upward has an initial velocity in the opposite direction.
The main type of energy conversion that happens to a ball thrown in the air as it goes up is from kinetic energy (energy of motion) to potential energy (stored energy due to position). As the ball moves upwards against the force of gravity, its kinetic energy decreases while its potential energy increases.
The main type of energy conversion that happens to a ball thrown in the air as it reaches its apex is the conversion of kinetic energy (energy of motion) into potential energy (energy of position). At the apex, the ball has momentarily stopped moving vertically, so its kinetic energy is at a minimum and its potential energy is at a maximum.
The initial velocity of the ball is 16 feet per second when thrown upward. The velocity decreases as the ball travels upward due to gravity until it reaches its peak and starts to fall back down.
Yes, as the ball is thrown upward, some of its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy due to the increase in height, following the conservation of energy principle. The speed of the ball decreases as it gains height due to the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy.
