Eddie tosses his phone up to his friend's window, which is 4 m above the ground. What energy conversion takes place with respect to the phone?

AKinetic energy to elastic potential energy
BGravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
CElastic potential energy to kinetic energy
DKinetic energy to gravitational potential energy

D. Kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy

[ Energy y virtue of object's motion has been changed to the object's height ]

Hope this helps!

Answer:

D. Kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Conservation of energy principle states that the total energy of a system remains constant

When the phone is being thrown from the ground, it has maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy since the phone will go up only if it is given some initial velocity. As it moves up, this kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases, the total energy remaining constant. At the 4 m height of the window, the maximum kinetic energy is totally converted entirely to gravitational potential energy.
