Answer:Magnitude of potential energy before falling will be equal to the magnitude of the final kinetic energy, energy is only converted from potential to kinetic

Explanation: law of conservation of energy says that energy can neither be created or destroyed but Change from one form to another.so nothing will happen to the size of the potential energy when it changes to kinetic energy
