Question

What force causes a falling object to gain kinetic energy?

Answer 1

Gravitational force

Step-by-step explanation:

Its Gravitational potential energy converts to kinetic energy

Answer 2

Gravitational Potential Energy

Step-by-step explanation:

As an object falls from rest, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Conservation of energy as a tool permits the calculation of the velocity just before it hits the surface.
