-- It has both potential and kinetic energy.

-- The farther it falls, the less potential energy it has.

-- Its kinetic energy keeps increasing until it reaches its terminal velocity,

then the KE becomes constant.

-- There's also some heat energy involved, on account of the friction between

the ball and the air. That energy transfers between the ball and the air in a way

that's probably quite complex.
