Corey Roberts · Answer 1

Mass has total mechanical energy, which is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. as the mass is dropping, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so mechanical energy is preserved If there is no friction. If there is friction, some of the mechanical energy is lost as heat energy so it changes.
