The Example: water tank.

Water is rising in the tank vertically or head then the kinetic energy is also rising.

ME= PE +KE.

In case vertically raised body ( I.e v= 0).
KE=0 j.

Therefore ME = PE.
Another case;
Vertically falling body about to touch the ground ( I.e v= max).
PE=0 j.
Therefore ME =KE.
Since ME is constant.
So, PE = KE verified.

Law of energy conservation, assuming no losses.

It is due to the conservation of energy during the process.
