243: Potential
Well maybe not ALL the mug’s potential kinetic energy, but certainly all the energy it was going to access as a mug entity.

You combined two steps into one.
To put it simplistically:
As the mug falls, its potential energy is “converted” into kinetic energy.
When it stops moving and breaks, the kinetic energy has been “converted” into heat, noise, different kinetic energy and possibly an argument about who’s to blame for breaking the mug 🙂
Thank you! ^_^
I’ll get you a new mug, I promise!
