When a ball of mass m is dropped from rest from a height h,

When a ball of mass m is dropped from rest from a height h, its kinetic energy just before landing is K. Now, suppose a second ball of mass 4m is dropped from rest from a height h/4. Choose the best explanation from among the following: The reduced drop height results in a reduced kinetic energy. The two balls have the same initial energy. The more massive ball will have the greater kinetic energy.
