Projectile Energy Conservation

Question:

In a projectile motion, is the energy at any point conserved? Is the k.e. and p.e. will interchange? What are the conditions assumed?

Thanks!

Answer:

In projectile motion mechanical energy will be conserved as long as there is no air resistance. In the absence of air resistance, ke and pe do exchange.
