If a stone is dropped so that the initial gravitational potential energy of the system stone-Earth is 100 J but it reaches the ground with a kinetic energy of only 75 J,this is a violation of the principle of conservation of energy.

Question

The difference in energy (25 J) could be accounted for by other forms of energy such as heat due to air resistance, meaning the total energy is conserved but transformed into different forms.
