In science one year, we did a test of dropping a water bottle from different heights over a Pringle, and we had to protect the Pringle with a paper. But how would increasing the height increase the force is the mass and acceleration is the same?

How does the velocity just before impact change with different heights? When dropped from a higher height, the object impacts the ground with a higher speed, right? Another way to look at this is by potential energy to kinetic energy conversion.

Increasing the time and distance of an impact results in smaller peak forces. Peak forces are what break things.
