Problem
Three identical solid spheres are released from rest at different heights on the same frictionless slide. At the bottom of the slide, energy bar charts show kinetic-energy bars of heights 2 squares, 4 squares, and 6 squares for Spheres P, Q, and R, respectively. Rank the initial gravitational potential energies of the three spheres from greatest to least and state your reasoning in one sentence.
