The potential energy of a freely falling body continuously decreases.
Detailed Explanation:
Potential energy (PE) decreases as height decreases during free fall, while kinetic energy (KE) increases due to increasing velocity.
Total mechanical energy (PE + KE) remains constant throughout the fall, demonstrating that the law of conservation of energy is not violated—energy transforms from one form to another but is neither created nor destroyed.
