Best Answer

Any time anything falls within Earth's atmosphere, there are the following energy transformations:

  • Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. That is, the object falls down, decreasing its potential energy; at the same time, the pull of gravity tends to make it move faster.
  • At the same time, atmospheric resistance will dissipate this movement - converting kinetic energy, mainly into heat.
