A ball is dropped and it hits the floor at a point A. It rebounds upward to a point B. While moving from A to B its?
A
kinetic energy is increasing
B
potential energy is increasing
C
potential energy is decreasing
D
kinetic energy remains constant
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The Kinetic Energy of a body is energy possessed by a body as a result of its motion.
Hence, while in motion the kinetic energy of a body changes into potential energy as it rebounds from the floor
