Question

If you hold a ball at eye level and drop it, it will bounce back, but not to its original height. Identify the energy conversions that take place during the process, and explain why the ball does not reach its original release level.

When the ball strikes the floor, its "Fill in the blank" as it is flattened; this energy conversion is reversed during the rebound. Onits way up after the ball bounces from the floor, its "Fill in the blank" until it reaches its highest point and stops. Tis point is below the original starting point because the ball has less energy- some of its original energy has been converted into. ( choices are )

Internal energy, gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, and kinetic energy.

The other two fill in the blank choices are:  Kinetic energy is converted to elastic potential energy, kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, elastic potential energy is converted to graviitational potential energy, internal energy is converted to kinetic energy.             

Explanation / Answer

1) Kinetic energy is converted to elastic potential energy

2) kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy

3) Internal energy
