NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 11
What is the relationship between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy when an object is released from a height h?
A
Potential energy converts entirely into kinetic energy just before hitting the ground.
B
Kinetic energy is always greater than potential energy at any height.
C
Potential energy remains constant while kinetic energy increases with height.
D
Kinetic energy is independent of the height from which the object is released.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The gravitational potential energy at height h converts into kinetic energy as the object falls, as shown in the relation mgh = (1/2)mv^2 just before impact with the ground.
