An object drops 100 meters from rest while experiencing a sizable amount of air

Question

An object drops 100 meters from rest while experiencing a sizable amount of air resistance and gains 60 J of kinetic energy during the fall. How much gravitational potential energy did the ball lose compared to the gain in kinetic energy? Explain how you came to your conclusion; if there is a difference between the two, account for the discrepancy.

the instructor is wanting to know how Gravational potiential energy relates to kenetice energy , i know that you never lose energy with is traded back and forth between the two , as one loses the other gains. i believe please answer with the most detail as possible.

Explanation / Answer

In rthe absence of air resistance, the loss in potential energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy, that is equal to 60J. In the presence of air resistance, a part of energy lost due the air resistance.Potential energy is less than kineti9c energy. That is loss in potyential energy is less than 60 J.
