Question
The ball's kinetic energy just after the bounce is less than just before the bounce. In what form does this lost energy end up?A. Elastic potential energyB. Gravitational potential energyC. Thermal energyD. Rotational kinetic energy
Step 1
When it hits the ground, it deforms and loses some of its kinetic energy. This energy is not converted into elastic potential energy because the ball does not regain all of its original shape and energy after the bounce. It is also not converted into gravitational Show more…
