NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11
Which of the following statements about the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy in a gravitational field is correct?
A
The gravitational potential energy decreases as an object falls, converting to kinetic energy.
B
Kinetic energy remains constant while potential energy decreases during free fall.
C
Potential energy is always greater than kinetic energy for an object in free fall.
D
The total mechanical energy is lost as an object falls due to gravitational force.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The decrease in gravitational potential energy as an object falls is converted into kinetic energy, illustrating the conservation of mechanical energy in gravitational fields.
