What happens to your kinectic energy when your gravitational potential energy decreases?

As r decreases, we lose gravitational potential energy - in other words, U G U_G UGU, start subscript, G, end subscript becomes more negative. Because energy is conserved, the velocity must increase, resulting in an increase in kinetic energy.

Explanation:

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
