The form of energy a bouncy has is, sound energy,elastic energy,and gravitational energy.
The Ball has energy in the form of potential energy as if it was released it would fall to the ground. The pitcher uses chemical energy to move his arm and give momentum to the ball. The ball's energy is now transformed to kinetic energy as it moves through the air.
After the ball stops moving, most of the energy has been converted into heat energy.
it bounces back Bouncing A Ball There are many types of balls in all different sizes and shapes; when these are made from some sort of natural or synthetic material and contain air or some other form of gas, they have the ability to use elastic energy to return to their original shape after being bounced, hit or squashed. This 'elastic energy' only comes into action when the ball comes in to some sort of impact with another object such as a floor. In this case it makes sense that the higher the ball is positioned in the air before it is dropped, the higher the return bounce will be after hitting the floor. This is because a tennis ball while in the air always starts with gravitational potential energy, when the ball is dropped this GPE forces it to move towards the earth. While doing so this energy is transferred into kinetic energy as it's moving through the air. When the ball hits the ground this kinetic energy is turned into elastic energy while at the same time also creating many other forms of energy such as sound, heat or friction. There is also a certain amount lost to the surface of which the ball is impacting with. All of this lost energy after the ball has gone through all of these energy transfers is the reason why the ball never reaches the height you started with before you dropped the ball; and the distance between this height and the height after the ball has bounced, accounts for all the lost energy in the process of dropping the ball. However this returning height can be changed by giving the ball a higher starting point in the first place. This gives the ball a higher GPE which will give every other type of energy this is transferred into an increased rate. This will ultimately force the bounce height of the ball higher than if it was dropped at a lower height. Therefore, as the drop-height increases, the bounce-height too will increase, but not always in direct proportion. The efficiency will decrease as the drop height is increased. This is called the coefficient of restitution.

The form of energy a bouncy has is, sound energy,elastic energy,and gravitational energy.
The Ball has energy in the form of potential energy as if it was released it would fall to the ground. The pitcher uses chemical energy to move his arm and give momentum to the ball. The ball's energy is now transformed to kinetic energy as it moves through the air.
kinetic energy
After the ball stops moving, most of the energy has been converted into heat energy.
When a ball is squashed, it gains potential energy due to the compression of its material. This potential energy is stored in the form of elastic potential energy, as the ball has the potential to return to its original shape when released.

Rolling (motion) is an example of Kinetic Energy.
The Ball has energy in the form of potential energy as if it was released it would fall to the ground. The pitcher uses chemical energy to move his arm and give momentum to the ball. The ball's energy is now transformed to kinetic energy as it moves through the air.
its maximum kinetic energy
Potential energy can be transformed into another energy form. For example-By dropping a ball from height.
When the ball hits the ground, kinetic energy is turned into potential energy and stored momentarily as the ball compresses. As the ball rebounds, the potential energy is converted back to kinetic energy. Some energy is also lost in the form of heat and air waves (sound). This continues with each bounce and due to the loss of energy, the ball gradually stops bouncing.
A moving tennis ball (or a moving object of any type) has kinetic energy, the enery of motion. Some of this energy gets converted into heat, when the ball bounces, and the ball therefore gets warm. The ball is moving less, but the kinetic energy has not disappeared, it has just changed into another form of energy.
