Question

Is this true or false the kinetic energy of a freely falling object decreases as it begins to fall

Answer 1

IT INCREASES AS IT STARTED TO FALL,
The kinetic energy = K.E = 1/2 * m *V^2
FROM THAT EQUATION, IT SAYS THAT THE K.E INCREASES AS THE VELOCITY INCREASE , SINCE IT FALLS SO IT WILL ACCELERATES, THAT MEANS THE VELOLCITY INCREASES, SO THE K.E INCREASE

Answer 2

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy of the object as it moves. It has more kinetic energy the faster it moves. Because a falling object is increasing in speed, it would also increase in kinetic energy. Hope this helps! :)
