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

Academic Physics NCERT Class 9

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

So, option $(c)$ is correct.

When a body falls freely towards the earth, then its total energyDecreasesIncreasesFirst increases and then decreasesRemains constant
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
A ball is dropped from a height of 10 m:a. Its potential energy increases and kinetic energy decreases during the fallsb. Its potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy during the fall.c. The potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases during the fall.d. The potential energy is zero and kinetic energy is maximum while it is falling.
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.

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?
