The speed and kinetic energy of a ball just before it hits the ground are related.
The kinetic energy of an object is given by the equation:
E_kinetic = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2
Where mass is the mass of the object and velocity is its speed. As the ball falls towards the ground, its speed increases due to the gravitational acceleration. Therefore, its kinetic energy also increases.
In other words, the faster the ball is moving (higher speed), the greater its kinetic energy will be just before hitting the ground.
Just before the ball hits the ground, how far is speeds and kinetic energy related
