Question

the potential energy of a freely falling object decreases does it violate law of conservation of energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

no why becausepotential energy progressive changes or decreases into kinetic energy of freely falling object and force remains constant

Answer 2

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, but can change its form from one to another.

The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases progressively, but since it gains a velocity, which keeps on increasing, its kinetic energy also increases. Hence, the potential energy that is decreased by falling, gets converted to kinetic energy. Thus, the mechanical energy (potential energy + kinetic energy) remains constant, thus energy is conserved.
