Answer: A 60 g golf ball is dropped from a level of 2 m high. It rebounds to 1.5 m. Energy loss will be 0.29J

Explanation: To find the correct answer, we have to know more about the Gravitational potential energy.

What is gravitational potential energy?

  • The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position in gravitational field of earth is called gravitational potential energy.
  • The gravitational potential energy of a body at a height h with respect to the height h will be,

                                          [tex]U=mgh[/tex]

  • Expression for gravitational potential energy loss will be,

                                        [tex]E=U_i-U_f[/tex]

How to solve the problem?

  • The total energy before the ball dropped will be,

                 [tex]U_i=mgh_i=60*10^-3kg*9.8m/s^2*2m=1.176 J[/tex]

  • The total energy after when the ball rebounds to 1.5m will be,

                 [tex]U_f=mgh_f=60*10^-3kg*9.8m/s^2*1.5m=0.882J[/tex]

  • The total energy loss will be,

                [tex]E=1.176-0.882=0.294J[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that, the energy loss will be,0.294J.
