Physics · Work, Energy and Power - Conservation of Energy
An object of mass 'm' is made to fall freely from a height 'h' under gravity. Neglecting air resistance, as the object continues to fall towards the ground, what happens to its energy?
- 1Its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.✓
- 2Its potential energy and kinetic energy both increase simultaneously.
- 3Its potential energy increases while its kinetic energy decreases.
- 4Its kinetic energy and potential energy both remain completely unchanged.
Correct answer
Its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.
