Question

A freely falling object eventually stops on reaching the ground. What happenes to its kinetic energy?

Answer 1

KINETIC ENERGY IS PRESENT ONLY DUE TO ITS MOTION....IN THE BODY....

WHEN THE BODY IS FALLING ON THE GROUND ITS MOTION INCREASES AND THUS KINETIC ENERGY ALSO INCREASES.......

AND WHEN IT REACHES THE GROUND.....

ITS KINETIC ENERGY IS HIGHEST AND ITS POTENTIAL ENERGY IS LEAST AS ON THE GROUND THE HEIGHT IS 0......

HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU ☺

Answer 2

☆$\red {HELLO\:DEAR}$☆

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 deform the ground depending upon the nature of the ground and the amount of kinetic energy possessed by the object.
