NEET Physics Potential Energy MCQ Question
Consider a diagram depicting a ball of mass m being dropped from a height H. Which of the following correctly describes the potential energy of the ball at height h before it is released?
Potential energy is mgh and decreases as the ball falls.
Potential energy is zero at height H and increases as the ball falls.
Potential energy is constant throughout the fall.
Potential energy is negative and increases as the ball falls.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, the potential energy at height h is given by V(h) = mgh, which decreases as the ball falls and converts into kinetic energy.
