A stationary ball has potential energy. When you push the ball, its energy is transferred to kinetic energy. As a result, the total amount of energy increases.

Answer 1:

A stationary ball has potential energy. When you push the ball, its energy is transferred to kinetic energy. As a result, the total amount of energy increases.

When a stationary ball is pushed, its energy is transferred from potential energy to kinetic energy. As a result, the potential energy decreases, while the kinetic energy increases. The total amount of energy in the system remains the same, as energy cannot be created or destroyed, according to the law of conservation of energy.
