Question

describe the enrgy conversions that occur whne a ball is dropped and bounces back up. Whyd o you think the ball bounces a little lower each time?

Does anyone know?

(No its not homework, Im studying for finals)

Answer 1

After you dropped the ball, you took potential energy. And during the ball moves toward the surface, and that is the kinetic energy, the energy in motion.

Hope I helped. :)

Answer 2

PLAY GOLF TO FIND THE ANSWER  LOL

Answer 3

When the ball rises it gains potential energy, as it falls it gains kinetic energy. When an object hits another object (ball and floor), it releases energy, so the ball loses energy to the environment. Also, if you take in account the friction of air will slow the ball down as well.
