Answer:
(a)The kinetic energy increases progressively as the potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy under the influence of acceleration due to gravity.
(b) The total mechanical energy remains the same as it is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy which vary proportionately throughout the path thereby the sum remaining constant.
