Question

A ball, starting from rest at Position 1, rolls back and forth along a curved track. The ball eventually stops rolling. The ball and track get a little warmer during this process.

How does the total energy of the ball and track change as the ball rolls along the track? Explain your answer without using equations. This is a short answer response question.

(Note: Assume no air friction)

Explanation / Answer

Here , when the ball rolls down the incline , the potential energy of the ball changes to kinetic energy and this kinetic energy is changed slowly to heat generated due to friction acting on the ball.

slowly , after moving for some time , the whole potetnial energy of the ball is converted to heat in incline and ball
