sorry... but I always thought that mgh is PE. why is KE=mgh again?

why is KE=mgh? is it PE=mgh?

so that's the answer? the distance traveled is... h[0]/4

oops. sorry. KE= [1/2]mv^2 so... the KE is quartered?

if the velocity is halved.. the KE is also halved... which means... the height is quartered?

Homework Statement A ceramic ball of mass m falls form rest a distance h[0] above a horizontal ceramic surface. The subsequent motion of the ball is purely vertical, bouncing ONLY on one spot on the surface. If the coefficient of restitution between the ball and surface halves after every...

A ceramic ball of mass m falls form rest a distance h[0] above a horizontal ceramic surface. The subsequent motion of the ball is purely vertical, bouncing ONLY on one spot on the surface. If the coefficient of restitution between the ball and surface halves after every bounce, find the distance...
