Question

when a mango falls from a tree to the ground its kinetic energy changes into potential energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

no the potential energy of the mango changes into kinetic energy when falling from treee

Answer 2

Answer:

A mango that is falling from a tree to the ground, its potential energy changes into kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy: It is the energy by virtue of its motion known as kinetic energy.

Let us consider a body of mass 'm' moving with the velocity 'v', then its kinetic energy (K.E.) is given by:

K.E. = 1/2 mv².

Potential energy: It is the energy by virtue of its position known as potential energy.

Let us consider a body of mass 'm' which is at the height 'h', then its potential energy is given by(P.E.):

P.E. = mgh (where g = acceleration due to gravity)

Now, from the above definitions, we can come to the conclusion that the mango which is at some height its energy is in the form of potential energy. As the mango travels down due to gravity toward the earth its energy will be converted to kinetic energy.

Therefore, a mango that is falling from a tree to the ground, its potential energy changes into kinetic energy.
