Is this true or false?

The kinetic energy of a freely falling object decreases as it begins to fall.

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy of the object as it moves. It has more kinetic energy the faster it moves. Because a falling object is increasing in speed, it would also increase in kinetic energy. Hope this helps! :)

IT INCREASES AS IT STARTED TO FALL, The kinetic energy = K.E = 1/2 * m *V^2 FROM THAT EQUATION, IT SAYS THAT THE K.E INCREASES AS THE VELOCITY INCREASE , SINCE IT FALLS SO IT WILL ACCELERATES, THAT MEANS THE VELOLCITY INCREASES, SO THE K.E INCREASE

The statement is false; the kinetic energy of a freely falling object increases as it falls due to an increase in speed. This is due to the conversion of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. Thus, falling objects gain kinetic energy the further they fall.
