Q5 of 55 Page 362

When a stone of mass ‘m’ falls through a vertical height ‘d’, the decrease in the gravitational energy is :

potential energy stored in a body of mass m and height ‘d’ will be given by = m×g×d

This gravitational potential energy keeps on decreasing with the decrease in height on stone, and when the stone falls completely, this potential energy is lost = mgd
