When a body falls freely towards the earth, then its total energy
Decreases
Increases
First increases and then decreases
Remains constant

Academic Physics NCERT Class 9

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy neither can be created nor it can be destroyed. It remains constant and gets converted only from one form to another form.

therefore, option (d) is correct.

When a body falls freely towards the earth, then its total energy$(a)$. increases$(b)$. decreases$(c)$. remains constant$(d)$. first increases and then decreases
A body travels a distance of 3 km towards East, then 4 km towards North and finally 9 km towards East. What is the total distance travelled ?
According to the third law of motion when a body exerts a force on another body then the other body also exerts force and both are equal and opposite. So when earth exerts a force on a falling apple then the force of the same magnitude should be exerted by the apple also towards earth. So why don't the earth moves towards the apple as force is equal?
A stone and the earth attract each other with an equal and opposite force. Why then we see only the stone falling towards the earth but not the earth rising towards the stone?
A body travels a distance of $3\ km$ towards East, then $4\ km$ towards North and finally $9\ km$ towards East.(i) What is the total distance travelled ?(ii) What is the resultant displacement ?
When heat is constantly supplied by a gas burner with small flame to melt ice, then the temperature of ice during melting :(a) increases very slowly(b) does not increase at all(c) first remains constant and then increases(d) increases to form liquid water
Why freely falling raindrop falls with a uniform velocity but the motion of a freely falling object/body has a non-uniform velocity?
A body travels a distance of 3 km towards East, then 4 km towards North and finally 9 km towards East. What is the resultant displacement ?
A man travels a distance of \( 1.5 \mathrm{~m} \) towards east, then \( 2.0 \mathrm{~m} \) in south and then \( 4.5 \mathrm{~m} \) towards east. Find the total distance travelled? Find the resultant displacement?
A student takes some water in a beaker and heats it over a flame for determining its boiling point. He keeps on taking its temperature readings. He would observe that the temperature of water :(1) keeps on increasing regularly(2) keeps on increasing irregularly(3) first increases slowly, then decreases rapidly and eventually becomes constant(4) first increases gradually and then becomes constant.
When a force acting on a body has equal and opposite reaction, then why should the body move at all?
Explain why, if a stone held in our hand is released, it falls towards the earth.
When a heavier body collides with a lighter body then which one will experience greater force?
HOW THE WATER LEVEL FIRST INCREASES AND THEN DECREASE ðŸ¤”ðŸ¤”
A body has a weight of $10\ kg$ on the surface of earth. What will be its weight when taken to the centre of the earth ?
