When a body falls freely towards the earth, then its total energy
$(a)$. increases
$(b)$. decreases
$(c)$. remains constant
$(d)$. first increases and then decreases

Academic Physics NCERT Class 9

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy neither can be created nor can be destroyed. It remains constant, and only gets converted from one form to another form.

So, option $(c)$ is correct.

According to the third law of motion when a body exerts a force on another body then the other body also exerts force and both are equal and opposite. So when earth exerts a force on a falling apple then the force of the same magnitude should be exerted by the apple also towards earth. So why don't the earth moves towards the apple as force is equal?
