The energy from the ball dropping didn't disappear. My reason is because of the law of conservation of energy. According to the law, energy cannot be created or destroyed. So my friend was incorrect. Energy may not be able to be created or destroyed but it can be transferred. So when the ball reached the surface of the floor, it transferred some it's energy. This caused some of it's amount of energy to be reduced, making it stop bouncing. So in conclusion, the energy didn't disappear it was transferred.

I like how you told your reference. The only problem is that the first sentence is incomplete. I know you can fix it. I give you a 3.999999999
ReplyDeleteI like how you are answering the question in your prompt, but you need to finish the sentence instead of saying "My reason is the law of conservation." You need to explain how the the law is your resource.
ReplyDeleteGood! But the first sentence was not complete but other wise everything was good.
