P.E. converts to K.E.
As it falls (neglecting air resistance), gravitational potential energy decreases and is converted into kinetic energy, so the object's speed (and K.E.) increases. (Whether P.E. = 0 depends on your chosen reference level; K.E. = P.E. is not generally true except at a particular instant for special conditions.)
