Q. In free fall, the sum of the energy due to virtue of motion and the potential energy is constant.

Show that the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy(i.e., total mechanical energy) is always conserved in the case of freely falling body under gravity (with air resistance neglected) from a height h by finding it when (i) the body is at the top, (ii) the body has fallen a distance x, (iii) the body has reached the ground.

Q. Assertion :Energy of electron in Bohr's orbit is always negative. Reason: Energy of electron is sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.

Q. Show that for freely falling body the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy remains constant at all points during its fall ?

Q. Assertion :Mechanical energy is the sum of macroscopic kinetic and potential energies. Reason: Mechanical energy is that part of total energy which always remain conserved.
