A 20- kg object falls 2.0 meters to the floor. At what point in its fall does the kinetic energy of a body?

Question

equal its potential energy?

at all points of the fall
halfway to the floor
just the instant before it hits the floor

Answer 1

note: this is a very simplistic approach, but sufficient for your purposes.

okay so when the object is about to be dropped, it has no kinetic energy, but a lot of potential energy due to gravity.

Just at the instant that the object hits the floor, it has maximum kinetic energy and 0 potential energy.

So the kinetic energy and potential energy would be the same at a point somewhere in the middle of the fall.
