Question

Food is consumed by a person and enables him to move his hand to lift up a ball to a certain height. The ball is released and hits the floor causing a loud sound. Which of the following is the correct step-by-step energy conversion of the ball?
(a) Chemical potential energy → gravitational potential energy → kinetic energy
(b) Chemical potential energy → kinetic energy → gravitational potential energy → kinetic energy → sound energy
(c) Elastic energy → kinetic energy → gravitational potential energy → sound energy
(d) Kinetic energy → gravitational potential energy → kinetic energy + chemical energy → sound energy

Solution

Dear Student,when we consume food we get chemical potential energy from the food. While lifting the ball we move our hand so we use kinetic energy.When ball is dropped from the height it comes under the action of gravity i.e, gravitational potential energy.As it is moving under an action of force so it get converted in to kinetic energyWhich when collide to produce sound generates sound energy.hence the right option is bRegards
