A 0.10 kg steel ball falls on earth from a height of 10 m and bounces to a height of 0.1 m. Let all the dissipated energy were absorbed by the ball as heat. Has the heat been given to the ball? Explain your answer with reasons

Dear student,

The statement you have provided states that the heat dissipated is absorbed by the body. This means that the ball has been heated and its heat energy will be equal to the energy dissipated calculated above.

Hope this clears your query.
Regards
