NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11
Which of the following statements about gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy is correct?
A
Gravitational potential energy at height h is converted entirely to kinetic energy just before hitting the ground.
B
Kinetic energy remains constant while an object is falling under the influence of gravity.
C
Gravitational potential energy increases as an object falls towards the ground.
D
The speed of an object increases uniformly as it falls, regardless of its height.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The gravitational potential energy at height h is converted into kinetic energy as the object falls, as indicated by the relation v² = 2gh, demonstrating the conservation of mechanical energy.
