gravity
it decreases
It will decrease if the object moves upward; decrease if the object moves downward.
Potential to kinetic. Before you turn the shower on, the water is above the ground, waiting in the pipes. Once you open the valve it falls, converting that potential energy into kinetic energy.
Light is generated when photons are emitted from an atom. This occurs when an electron on one energy level of an atom falls to a lower energy level.

falls from a higher energy state to a lower energy state.

Lots of wrong answers out there, tested this on school, the answer is: Drops from a higher to a lower energy level
Yes, I believe so. As it gains upward momentum it is using thermal energy, and when it stops, and falls with gravity back to earth it is using kinetic energy. I think that's right.

The situation is similar as when an object falls. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (including rotational energy in this case); part of that kinetic energy is converted to heat energy.

The leaf does not fall straight down. It falls slowly because of air resistance. The air provides upward force. The upward force on the apple is negligible.
