Question

The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases progressively. Does this violate the law of conservation of energy? Why?

Answer 1

As the potential energy of thefreely falling object decreases, its kinetic energy increases on account of an increase in its velocity. ... Thus, thelaw of conservation of energy is notviolated.

Answer 2

No, it does not violate the law of conservation of energy.

As the objects falls freely, it's potential energy changes into kinetic energy. Hence the energy of the object is conserved.
