Question

A free falling object eventually stops on reaching the ground what happened to its kinetic energy

Answer 1

When object fall towards the earth its potential energy decrease and kinetic energy increases so this the total mechanical energy is constant

Answer 2

Answer♡

• When an object falls freely towards the ground, its potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases. as the object touches the ground, all its potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. As the object hits the hard ground, all its kinetic energy gets converted into heat energy and sound energy.It can also define the ground depending upon the nature of the ground and the amount of kinetic energy possessed by the object.
