Question:

Energy of a Falling Object A ball with mass m is dropped from an initial height of h0 and lands with a final velocity of vf. The kinetic energy of the ball is K(v) = 1/2mv2, where v is its velocity, and the potential energy of the ball is P(h0) = mgh, where h is its height and g is a constant. 

(a) Show that P(h0) = K(vf). 

(b) Interpret your result from part (a).
