Q: During the free falling of an object –
  • A. The kinetic energy increase
  • B. The potential energy increase
  • C. The kinetic energy decrease
  • D. There is no change in kinetic energy
Correct Answer: Option A - When an object is in a static state, it has potential energy but when it is dropped down freely, the energy generated due to its motion is called kinetic energy. But as the body moves downwards, the force of gravity acts on it, which increases the kinetic energy as its speed increases.
