Question

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; however, if you stretch out a ball in your hand and let it freely drop, the ball will not quite bounce back up to the height you dropped it from. Which of the following best explains why this happens? *

The pull of gravity negates the law of conservation of energy.

Some of the energy has to be used up to push the ball back into the air, destroying it forever.

The ball falls too quickly, so the energy does not have enough time to fully recharge.

Some of the energy is released into the air as heat (thermal energy) due to friction.
