I believe the answer is POTENTIAL ENERGY. The water at the top of the waterfall has Potential Energy. Potential Energy is defined as the energy that is stored when an object is at rest. At the top of the waterfall, water will have maximum potential energy. When the water falls down, it is will already have kinetic energy which is energy that is produced through continuous motion. When it is finally in the bottom, water will have maximum kinetic energy. <span> </span>

Why do heavier objects fall at the same speed as lighter ones?

GaryK [48]

Speed of any freely falling object is always same. Provided, both are left to fall from the same height. If you perform this experiment in a perfect vacuum or near vacuum laboratory, both of them will reach ground with same velocity this is because there is no resistance to their motion. This is always true no matter where you go and perform this experiment.
It can be easily proved from conservation of mechanical energy. Why conserving energy? because there are no forces acting on the freely falling objects other than conservative force(mg).
