Detailed Solution

Potential and kinetic energy are both possessed by the stone, which gets thrown on, releasing the stretched rubber strings of a catapult.
Initially, the stone has potential energy when pulled along with the strings of the catapult, which gradually converts to kinetic energy after it is released. Finally, the stone stops after its potential energy is used up as kinetic energy.
