Abrick is dropped from rest from the top of a building through air (air resistance is present) to the ground below. how does the brick's kinetic energy just before reaching the ground compare with the gravitational potential energy at the top of the building? set zero height at the ground level. the comparison cannot be made since the information of air resistance is not given. kinetic energy just before reaching the ground < gravitational potential energy at the top of the building kinetic energy just before reaching the ground = gravitational potential energy at the top of the building kinetic energy just before reaching the ground > gravitational potential energy at the top of the building
