When potential energy converts to kinetic energy, the total energy decreases.

When an object's motion increases, the potential energy decreases.

As the speed of an object decreases, its kinetic energy increases.

When potential energy converts to kinetic energy, the total energy increases.

As an object changes motion, the object's total energy will always be the same.
