When a ball is about to fall it has potential energy because of its height.
When a ball is about to hit the ground it still has some potential energy since it has't hit the ground yet, but much less than it had when it started falling.

Potential and kinetic energy are sort of like inverses. They are not technically inverses strictly speaking in the mathematical sense. Potential energy can become kinetic energy, and vice versa. Keep in mind the mathematical concept of the change in each. (change in) Potential energy= (change in) Kinetic energy. For example, let's say that we had a mass of 1 kg suspended 1 metre above the ground. If we drop it, its kinetic energy by the time it hits the ground is (1/2)mv2 . (1/2)(1kg)(9.82 ) (m2 ) or 48.02J It's potential energy at this point is 0, because it is on the ground and is not suspended in the air. Potential and kinetic energies act as inverses because before the mass was dropped its kinetic energy was 0 and its potential energy was 48.02J. By the time the mass had dropped to the ground however, the potential energy had all transferred into kinetic energy.
The football has (gravitational) potential energy because of its position above the ground. It also has kinetic energy because it is moving. The combined energy is called mechanical energy.
It gains kinetic energy because it is accelerating. Once it hits the ground, all of it's kinetic energy is converted different types of energy. Example: drop a rock from your head. When it hits the ground it create friction and there fore heat, heat is energy. It also makes a sound when it hits the ground, sound is energy. If you were to take the heat and the sound energy a d add them together, you would get the equal amount of potential energy the rock had when it was at your head ready to drop. Therefore, in this case, the kinetic energy was coverted to heat energy and sound energy.
When the boy is holding the ball it has Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE).When he lets go the Gravitational Potential Energy is converted to Kinetic Energy.As the ball is falling it continues to gain Kinetic Energy, however, the friction from the air on the ball increases (Air Resistance).When the Kinetic Energy and Air Resistance become equal the ball is said to have to reached Terminal Velocity.Once the ball hits the ground the Kinetic Energy is transferred to the ground through heat (Friction) and also as sound.Remember energy cannot be created or destroyed, it is always transferred.
Kinetic energy is dependent on which point you are talking about. When it is about to be dropped, kinetic energy is zero. When it reaches almost hits the ground, there is maximum kinetic energy.
Sitting on the table the stone has potential energy, relative to the ground, of weight times height, mgh. It has zero kinetic energy so its total energy is E = 0 + mgh. When it begins falling it loses potential energy (as it loses height) and gains kinetic energy ( as it picks up speed) so the sum stays the same as initially E = KE + PE = mgh. Just before it hits the ground all of its potential energy is gone and has been transformed into kinetic energy. So the kinetic energy at the bottom (1/2)mv^2 will equal the potential energy at the top.
the height of an object has more POTENTIAL ENERGY.Converted to kinetic energy
When the ball is positioned in your hands it has full potential energy. As you move and the ball is thrown at the basket, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, by the transfer of kinetic energy from your arms, to your hands, to the ball. When the ball hits the basket some of its kinetic energy was converted into potential energy and then back into kinetic energy as it hit the ground.
Hold a rock in the air ... it has potential energy. Drop it ... the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. It hits the ground and stop ... the kinetic energy will be converted into thermal energy. Note that the total energy in each case is the same.

They're hardly ever equal. One of the few situations where they're equal is when you drop a weight to the ground from some height. Then, the gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy are equal when it's exactly in the middle of the drop, and the kinetic energy it has when it hits the ground is the same as the gravitational potential energy it had when you let it go.

when book is dropped from the height its kinetic goes on increasing and the sudden stop to the book when it touches the ground all the kinetic energy of the book is converted into potential energy of the book which helps the book to be stable after the impact, in short when the book hits the ground kinetic energy is converted to potential energy due to law conservation of energy.
The potential energy is progressively changed to kinetic energy as the orange falls. When it hits the ground most of it is converted to heat.

If you have an object on the roof it has potential energy of weight x height above the ground. When you drop it off the roof it is converted to kinetic enemy as it hits the ground, of value 1/2 its mass x velocity squared.
The potential energy of the mass of the sky diver is transformed into kinetic energy during the free fall. The kinetic energy of the free fall is transformed into kinetic energy and heat of the air when the parachute is deployed.
