An object is falling freely from a height x. After it has fallen a height $\frac{x}{2}$ , it will possess :

(a) only potential energy

(b) only kinetic energy

(c) half potential and half kinetic energy

(d) less potential and more kinetic energy

Open in App

Solution

(c) half potential and half kinetic energy.

Because during free fall, potential energy changes into kinetic energy.
