Potential energy is given by mgh.
Where h is the height .
As bodies under free fall experience constant acceleration g, which leads to increase in velocity and thus increase in Kinetic Energy given my 1/2 mv^2, their height from the ground also decreases..
As height decreases , their potential energy also decreaseases.
At any given time the sum of potential and kinetic energy of a body in free fall is constant.
(pS before falling, the total energy is almost entirely potential, and just before hitting the ground, it is almost fully kinetic)
