Question: suppose a ball is raised to a certain height from the floor. thus, this ball - earth system has some gravitational potential energy ( ui

suppose a ball is raised to a certain height from the floor. thus, this ball-earth system has some gravitational potential energy (ui). when the ball is dropped from this height, the kinetic energy of the ball increases as it fall down. if air resistance is not neglected, how do the kinetic energy (kf) just before the ball hits the floor compare to the initial gravitational energy (ui) of the ball-earth system?
