    If you hold a rock 10 ft high instead of 3 ft high before you

    drop it on your foot, it'll hurt more, because of the greater

    amount of potential energy that changed to kinetic energy

    on the way down before it landed with a 'crunch'.

    Also, you have to use more energy to lift it all the way up

    to 10 ft. That increased lifting energy that you use gets

    stored in the ball, as additional potential energy.
