The potential and kinetic energies of the banana are equal **halfway down**.
When the banana is at the top of the cliff, it has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy. As it falls, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. At the halfway point, the potential energy lost is equal to the kinetic energy gained, resulting in both types of energy being equal.
