the potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy so obviously yes. as velocity is the only variable , as the height decreases, there should be a corresponding increase in the velocity. (potential energy = mgh, kinetic energy = 1/2 mvxv

Because of gravity of earth (freefall).ball accelerated by g=9.8 m/s2. When there is acceleration, the speed will increase with time. Thank you.

Due to gravitational force.

As an object falls, its speed increases because it’s being pulled on by gravity. The gravitational force increases as the distance of the object from the center of the earth decreases

When a ball is dropped from a height its velocity increased continuously because of the continuous force acting on the ball due to gravity. Its value is 9.8 m/s2

Initially when the ball was dropped, its velocity was zero. As it gradually goes down, under the earth's gravity it accelerates at the rate of 9.8 m/s^2. Also when it moves down at each point there will be some velocity( not when dropped) and hence its velocity increases according to v^2 = u^2 + 2as. ...

If energy is neither created nor destroyed then from where do we get energy?
It changes from one form of energy to other form or energy. Eg: like a ball falling from height have potential energy initially when at rest and when it keeps on falling it turns into kinetic energy
