Q

Example of law of conservation in energy: the motion of a ball when it falls and then bounces from the ground

  1. When a ball falls to the ground, _____________________ energy-> _____________________energy
  2. When the ball reaches the ground, _____________________ energy-> _____________________ energy+ _____________________
    - thus, the ball has _____________________ energy after the bounce
    - it __________________ return to the _______________ ________________ at which it is released
  3. When the ball bounces up, _____________________ energy-> _____________________ energy
A

Potential, kinetic
Kinetic, sound, friction
Less, cannot, same height
