Fill in the blanks correctly to describe the transfer of energy as a ball falls down and bounces back up.

Word Bank:

Gravitational potential energy
elastic potential energy
kinetic energy
thermal energy

The ball is dropped and __________________ is converted into ____________________ as it falls.

When the ball hits the ground and comes to a momentary stop, some of the ball's energy is converted into ____________________ as the ball is distorted by the impact.

The impact also transfers _________________ to the ground. As the ball moves back upwards, ________________ is transformed into _________________.

Explanation:

Here, we have four options. We need to fill the blanks to describe the transfer of energy as a ball falls down and bounces back up. The options are as :

  1. Gravitational potential energy
  2. elastic potential energy
  3. kinetic energy
  4. thermal energy

The ball is dropped and the Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. Gravitational potential energy is associated with the height above ground surface and as the ball comes to ground the potential energy is zero and the is converted to kinetic energy.

When the ball hits the ground and comes to a momentary stop, some of the ball's energy is converted into elastic potential energy as the ball is distorted by the impact.

The impact also transfers thermal energy to the ground. As the ball moves back upwards, kinetic energy is transformed into gravitational potential energy.
