1.	When a body is dropped on the ground from some height its P.E is converted into K.E but when it strikes the ground and it stops, what happens to the K.E?
Answer» When a body is dropped on the ground, its K.E appears in the form of: Heat (collision between the body and the ground). Sound (collision of the body with the ground). The potential energy of change in state of the body and the ground. Kinetic energy is also utilized to do work i.e., the ball bounces to a certain height and moves to a certain distance vertically and horizontally till Kinetic energy becomes zero. The process in which the kinetic energy of a freely falling body is lost in an unproductive chain of energy is called the dissipation of energy.

When a body is dropped on the ground, its K.E appears in the form of:

Heat (collision between the body and the ground).
Sound (collision of the body with the ground).
The potential energy of change in state of the body and the ground.
Kinetic energy is also utilized to do work i.e., the ball bounces to a certain height and moves to a certain distance vertically and horizontally till Kinetic energy becomes zero.
The process in which the kinetic energy of a freely falling body is lost in an unproductive chain of energy is called the dissipation of energy.
