This Demonstration illustrates the relationship of the potential and kinetic energies of a falling object. The potential energy
mhg
is the product of the object's mass
m
, height
h
, and the gravity
g
. Kinetic energy
1/2m
2
v
is half the product of the object's mass and its velocity squared. Conservation of energy implies that the sum of the potential and kinetic enrgies remains constant.
