Question

A ball is dropped from a height:

  1. Its potential energy increases, and the kinetic energy decreases during the fall.

  2. Its potential energy and kinetic energy are equal during the fall.

  3. The potential energy decreases, and the kinetic energy increases during the fall.
  4. The potential energy and kinetic energy are maximum while it is falling.

hintHint:

When the ball is dropped from height its velocity increases as it falls down and approaching the ground due to gravity. 

The correct answer is: The potential energy decreases, and the kinetic energy increases during the fall.


    A ball is dropped from a height: The potential energy decreases, and the kinetic energy increases during the fall. 
    • The potential energy of a ball is increased by its elevated/raised position.
    • The ball starts to fall when it is dropped from that position.
    • Due to its speed, the ball is falling and possesses kinetic energy.
