Answer
On being thrown upwards, the kinetic energy of the pebble changes to potential energy.
Its kinetic energy is completely converted into potential energy when the pebble reaches its maximum height.
The potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy while coming down and the potential energy is completely converted to kinetic energy when the pebble reaches the ground.
