The higher the initial position of the ball, the less kinetic energy needed to reach a specified height. Drop the ball, it losses potential until it rests upon the ground and returns to the beginning point. Constant and was grouped under conservation of energy. The Bernoulli effect also describes the reason airplanes and jets fly. The top part of the wing is curved with a flat underside.
Air is forced to move faster over the top of the wing, reducing pressure, to create lift.
Rudolf Clausius Rudolf Clausius in 1850 gathered together the current body of energy equations under a general law he called the Law of Energy Conservation. These energies can interchange back and forth into each other, but the sum total of all the energies in the heavens never changes. Though vis viva was forgotten for a time in favor of energies that could be integrated with Newton's force, it would resurface in the work of Albert Einstein. Results are showing an expected increase of mass at high speed. A conceptual reason for this may be electrically charged particles induces a magnetic field that could increase density.
