A body is thrown vertically upwards. Its velocity goes on decreasing. What happens to its kinetic energy as its velocity becomes zero?

When a body is thrown vertically upwards against the force of gravity, its Kinetic energy goes on decreasing as its velocity decreases due to the gravitational force acting downwards. At maximum height, the Kinetic energy becomes zero as the velocity becomes zero and all the energy of the body is converted into potential energy. Hence this states that as KE decreases PE increases
