A bouncing ball eventually comes to rest. What happened to the ball's

kinetic and potential energy?

A. It has been permanently destroyed, reducing the total

energy of the universe.

B. It has been converted to other forms; the total amount of

energy in the universe remains unchanged.

C. It has transferred to the surroundings, increasing the

total energy available in the universe.

D. The ball's motion temporarily increased the amount of

energy in the universe, but the level returned to its

former value as the ball came to rest.

Alvin Thompson · Answer 1

Option B is there correct answer

Explanation:

According to their principle Of The conservation of mechanical energy:it State that in a closed system, the total mechanical energy is always constant although energy may change from one form to another. e. g from potential energy to kinetic energy
