At halfway, the forces are equal. At three quarters of the way down, it will have three times the kinetic energy as it does potential (having travelled three times the distance than is left). So at 7.75m into the fall it's kinetic energy will be triple it's potential energy.
Weight and height. The potential energy of an object is its weight times its height. The potential energy is turned into kinetic energy as the object is dropped. Potential energy is weight times height, kinetic energy is one half mass times velocity-squared. Mgh = ½ M V^2 To reach a speed of 10 m/s this equation can be solved to show that the object must be dropped through a height of 5.1 metres.
It is easiest to think of initial potential energy as the "distance" the object is able to fall. If it has not fallen the distance yet, then of course kinetic energy would be less.
Potential energy is associated with height. Kinetic energy is associated with motion.
The ball has the highest potential energy at its maximum height (15m in the air). At the beginning, the ball has only kinetic energy and no potential energy. But as the ball travels upward, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. When the ball changes direction, there is no kinetic energy, as all of it is now potential energy. As the ball returns back down, potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy.
When the rock is high up but has not been dropped yet, it has a lot of gravitational potential energy because of its position. PE = (mass) x (G) x (height) After it is dropped, the lower it goes, the less potential energy it has. That bit of missing potential energy has become the kinetic energy that it now has on account of its speed of descent. KE = 1/2 (mass) x (speed)2
it is the difference of the potential energy when the body is on the table and from the position where it is dropped.
When an object is dropped, its potential energy decreases. This is because potential energy is a result of an object's position or height above the ground. As the object falls, it loses height, which leads to a decrease in potential energy. At the same time, the object gains kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.

Potential energy is because of height. Kinetic energy is because of motion.
Interesting question. But when the object is at rest the potential energy of the object is 0, on the surface that is. When it is on a height h it's potential energy increase and when it is dropped from that height all that potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy just before hitting the ground. This extra force comes from this kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is energy. It can be transformed to other types of energy. And as energy it can be applied to do work. If an elastic ball is dropped from a given height, it will develop kinetic energy at the expense of its potential energy. An instant before collision with the floor, its kinetic energy amounts to the original potential energy of the ball with respect to the floor. (if we can neglect air resistance).
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.

yes it is, but you can only have kinetic energy of the object is in motion and potential energy if the object is any height above zero
It consist both, the kinetic as well as potential energy. Justification: As per potential energy formula mgh m-mass in kg g- Acceleration due to gravity h - Height if any of the above parameters does not have zero value then their should be a potential energy. Kinetic energy does exist.
