Homework Statement
You drop a ball from a high balcony and it falls freely. Does the ball's kinetic energy increase by equal amounts in equal time intervals, or by equal amounts in equal distances? Explain.
Homework Equations
KE = 1/2mv^2
PE = mgy
Conservation of energy: Emech = KE + PE; Esys = Emech + Eth
The Attempt at a Solution
I think that it increases by equal amounts in equal distances, seeing as potential energy has to do with height. I'm just not sure how to explain it?
Thanks :)
