A freely fall...

Question

A freely falling object eventually stops on reaching the ground. What happens to its kinetic energy?

Open in App

Solution

When a freely falling body strikes the ground, its kinetic energy is the maximum at that point.
On hitting the ground the kinetic energy of the body is converted into heat and sound energy.
