Take a big stone at a height of 1m.
Then point the stone at your feet.
Now, release the stone
(Observation): you will find that your feet will get hurt..
(Explanation): the potential energy in stone isn't went anywhere..It has been converted to kinetic energy which is transferred to your feet.
THIS EXPERIMENT CONFIRMS THAT GRAVITATIONAL FORCE IS A CONSERVATIVE FORCE.

"A conservative force is a force is a property that the work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of a path taken .The gravitational force is a conservative because the work done by the gravitational force on an object depends only on its change in height ".

If a object moves along a circular path nd reaches back to its initial position then the total work done is zero.the force which conserve mechanical energy is called conservative force.hence the total energy loss be also zero so gravitational force is a conservative force.
