Question

State the law of conservation of energy. Show that the energy of a freely

falling body is conserved.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. Although, it may be transformed from one form to another. If you take all forms of energy into account, the total energy of an isolated system always remains constant. All the forms of energy follow the law of conservation of energy.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

we can say that energy can neither be created not destroyed. in the case of a freely falling body, it is the mechanical energy of the system that is conserved. mechanical energy (E) is the sum of the potential energy (U) and the kinetic energy (K) of the freely falling body, therefore, E=K+U = constant.
