Since force equals mass x acceleration (F=MA), the greater the height of a dropped object the more it will accelerate before it hits the ground, so the greater the energy it will hit with. So, more height, more energy. If one wants to stop a certain object with a certain amount of energy in a given time span, one needs more force if the energy level of the object is higher.
Another aspect is that force decreases with height (measured from earth): mass is constant, but gravitational constant decreases with distance to earth.

What is the height of a mare?
The sex of a horse does not affect the height so much as genetics and breed affect the height of a horse. Mares can be any height.
Does the height of a person affect how far a baseball will go?
yes, if you are taller you arms will be longer meaning your throwing motion will have more force and power.
How does the drop height of a ball affect the number on time it will bounce?
it differs because the weight and height you throw it at differs making the force that it hits the ground differ which obviously will differ how much it goes up
What is the work and force of 1kg being pushed up a 0.6 m ramp and a height of 2 m?
If it is 0.6m (long?) then how can it be 2 m high? Also, if friction is involved, this will affect the amount of force.
