The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases progressively. Does this violate the law of conservation of energy? Why?
Answers
Answer:
no it doesn't violate the law of conservation of energy
Explanation:
ANSWER
No, it does not violate the law of conservation of energy.
According to conservation of energy,
Total
M.E =P.E+K.E
Thus for a freely falling object, its potential energy decreases but kinetic energy increases in such a way that its total mechanical energy remains constant.
Moreover, potential energy of a freely falling object is converted into its kinetic energy.
Answer:
A decrease in the potential energy is equal to an increase in the kinetic energy of the body. ... During the process, total mechanical energy of the body remains conserved. Therefore, the law of conservation of energy is not violated.
