Summarize what happens to a balls energy when it bounces?

When a ball bounces, it initially gains speed or kinetic energy—the energy of motion. When it reaches Earth, it collides head-on with an incredibly massive object that is, from your perspective, at rest. The ball slows down, deforms temporarily and shoots back up.

Explanation:

I hope this helps.

When you hold the ball in the air, the ball has gravitational potential energy. Realizing it will turn the potential energy into kinetic energy. When the ball touches the ground, the kinetic energy will turn into elastic potential energy. When it bounces back up, it will turn into kinetic energy. When the ball is in that position where the ball was being held, it will have gravitational potential energy and repeat the cycle.

Explanation:

Terms to know:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy of an object that possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.

Elastic potential energy is energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object.

Kinetic energy is the energy that objects posess due to motion.

i don't see a text, but i am gonna assume this *orbit* the curved path, usually elliptical, described by a planet, satellite, spaceship, etc., around a celestial body, as the sun.
