Question.
The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases progressively. Does this violate the law of conservation of energy ? Why ?
The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases progressively. Does this violate the law of conservation of energy ? Why ?
Solution:
It does not violate the law of conservation of energy. The decrease in potential energy due to loss of height, increases the kinetic energy due to gain in speed such that total energy remains constant
