The potential energy of a freely object ...

The potential energy of a freely object decreases progressively. Does this violate the law of conservation of energy? Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The total mechanical energy remains constant / as P.E. of the freely falling object decreases. Its kinetic energy and the kinetic energy increases on account of an increases its velocity) the law of conservation of energy is not violated.
