    An object is dropped from the top of a building through the air (friction is present) to the ground below. Kinetic energy just before striking the ground will be less than the gravitational potential energy at the top.

    Explanation:

    Kinetic energy is energy which the body possesses while in motion. Gravitational potential energy is one that an object has due to its position in the Gravitational field. When an object falls its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

    When the object comes close to the ground its gravitational potential energy that has now been converted in kinetic energy will be less.
