A 10-kg rock is being dropped from 320 meters. What is its kinetic energy before it is released?

KE before it is released is 0, bcoz it has energy stored (WORK IS DONE AGAINST THE GRAVITY) in the form of potential energy. That is W= P.E, as energy is conserved hence {PE+KE=energy total} KE is zero.
Any object at rest has zero kinetic energy.
