(FALSE) The statement is False.
According to the law of conservation of energy,energy can neither be created nor destroyed,only transformed from one form to another.
When a body falls and hits the ground,its kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy such as sound energy,heat energy,and potential energy of deformation (if the body or ground is deformed).
Therefore,the total energy of the system remains conserved,and the principle is not violated.
