<p>A rock is thrown straight up from the surface of the earth. Which one of the following statements describes the energy transformation of the rock as it rises? Neglect air resistance. <br /><br />The answer is c) The kinetic energy decreases and the potential energy decreases. <br /><br />But why is this the correct answer? Could someone please explain?  This was on a quiz I took and I thought it would be the other way around as in: the kinetic energy decreases and potential energy decreases.  <br /><br /></p>
