(ii) A stone dropped from the roof of a building.

उत्तर
(i) When a ball is thrown upwards, its kinetic energy at the thrower's hand is transformed into potential energy at the maximum height. As the stone continues to move upwards, its potential energy gradually increases, but its kinetic energy decreases as velocity of the stone decreases.
(ii) When a stone is dropped from a height its potential energy at the height is transformed into kinetic energy on reaching the ground. As the stone descends, its potential energy gradually decreases and its kinetic energy increases.
