How can the speed of a dropped ball be increased?

• Roll it down a hill instead to increase the amount of friction.

• Drop a larger ball to increase the amount of friction.

• Decrease the height from which it is dropped to give it more potential energy.

• Increase the height from which it is dropped to give it more potential energy.
