The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases progressively. Does this violate the law of conservation of energy? Why? |
| Answer» Solution :The potential energy of a freely falling object DECREASES progressively. As the object falls down, its VELOCITY INCREASES. HENCE the kinetic energy of the object increases. The total energy `(E_(p)+E_(K))` remains constant. The law of conservation of energy is not violated. | |
