As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases, as it converts potential energy into kinetic energy.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Can an object have both Potential and Kinetic Energy?

Back

Yes, an object can have both types of energy at the same time. For example, a roller coaster at the top of a hill has potential energy, and as it descends, it gains kinetic energy.
