Question

When an object falls, its:

A. PE increases and KE decreases.
B. PE does not change.
C. PE and KE both increase.
D. PE decreases and kE increases​

Answer 1

Option D. is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The object's mechanical energy refers to the sum of the potential and kinetic energies of the object. When an object falls, its potential energy (PE) decreases, and its kinetic energy (KE) increases. The increase in kinetic energy is exactly equal to the decrease in potential energy.

Option D. is correct.
