Answer:

No. The process does not violate the law of conservation of energy. This is because when the body falls from a height, then its potential energy changes into kinetic energy progressively. A decrease in the potential energy is equal to an increase in the kinetic energy of the body.

Answer:

Let a body of mass  

m  

 placed at a height  

h  

 above the ground, start falling down from rest.`

When the body falls from a height h to h/2, the potential energy is given as  

2

mgh

​  

.

The body covers the distance h/2 with a velocity v. We make use of the third equation of motion to obtain velocity of the body.

Here, u=0,a=g and S=x

Kinetic energy =

That is, K.E=

Hence, at height h/2 the energy possessed is half potential energy and half the kinetic energy.
