During free fall, potential energy decreases as height decreases, and kinetic energy increases as velocity increases, due to the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy.
When a body of certain mass falls freely from a height it's- Potential energy decreases and Kinetic energy increases. Potential energy increases and Kinetic energy decreases. Potential energy and Kinetic energy both increase. Potential energy and Kinetic energy both decrease.
