Where do energy of the ball go after it hits the ground?
Assuming the ball doesn't rebound: The energy is dissipated. That means it is spread out, as unusable forms of energy; most of it will heat the ball and the ground.
Where do electromagnetic waves tranfer energy?
From one place to another. From the source of the radiation to whatever ultimately absorbs it. Example: Using your flashlight to see a rock on the ground at night. -- The energy begins as chemical energy inside the batteries in the flashlight. -- You switch the flashlight on. Electric current flows through the light bulb or LEDs. Most of the energy in the current changes to light energy and heat energy. The light energy pours out of the front of the flashlight. -- All of the air that the light passes through absorbs some of its energy. -- A lot of the light misses the rock, and hits the ground. The ground absorbs most of the energy in the light that hits it. Not much of the light energy that hits the ground bounces off of it. That's why the ground looks dark to you. -- Some of the light goes straight to the rock and hits it. The rock absorbs most of the energy in the light that hits it. Not much of the light energy that hits the rock bounces off of it. That's why the rock looks dark to you. -- Any light energy that hits the ground or the rock, bounces off of them, and hits your shirt, is absorbed by your shirt. -- Any light energy that hits the ground or the rock, bounces off of them, and happens to go through the dark circle in the middle of your eye, is absorbed in the cells on the back surface of your eye. That energy generates a little bit of chemical action, which generates a little bit of electric current, which flows through the optic nerve, to your brain, whereupon your brain generates the message "Hey! There's a rock right there, on the ground!"
What energy changes occur when a falling rock hits the ground?
Kinetic Enegry
A stone is dropped from a window 5m high at what speed does it hit the ground?
Potential energy refers to the energy of an object that is released as kinetic energy when it falls back to the ground. When a stone is dropped from a height of 5m, its speed when it hits the ground is 9.9 m/s.
How does the height of a ball affect the height of its bounce?
the potential energy gets changed into kinetic energy so when it hits the ground it will bounce back up.

How does the total energy change when when a falling rock hits the ground?
when the rock falls it gain kinetic energy when it falls.
What forms of energy is there when the baseball is rolling when it hits the ground?
As the baseball is falling, it still has a lot of the kinetic energy that it got from the bat, and it keeps picking up more kinetic energy from gravity until it hits the ground. Once it hits the ground and rolls, it steadily loses kinetic energy to push grass out of the way, and to slightly heat some grass with friction by rubbing against it, until its kinetic energy is all used up and it stops rolling.
Are gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy equal in all cases?
They're hardly ever equal. One of the few situations where they're equal is when you drop a weight to the ground from some height. Then, the gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy are equal when it's exactly in the middle of the drop, and the kinetic energy it has when it hits the ground is the same as the gravitational potential energy it had when you let it go.
Describe a stone falling off the tabletop in terms of both kinetic energy and potential energy?
Sitting on the table the stone has potential energy, relative to the ground, of weight times height, mgh. It has zero kinetic energy so its total energy is E = 0 + mgh. When it begins falling it loses potential energy (as it loses height) and gains kinetic energy ( as it picks up speed) so the sum stays the same as initially E = KE + PE = mgh. Just before it hits the ground all of its potential energy is gone and has been transformed into kinetic energy. So the kinetic energy at the bottom (1/2)mv^2 will equal the potential energy at the top.

When lightning hits a lightning rod where does the lightning go?
The ground
Does a rock have potential and kinetic energy as it hits the ground?
When a ball is about to fall it has potential energy because of its height.When a ball is about to hit the ground it still has some potential energy since it has't hit the ground yet, but much less than it had when it started falling.
When an egg hits the ground does it have friction?
the height of an object has more POTENTIAL ENERGY.Converted to kinetic energy
Why does a pencil bounce when it falls on the ground and i don't want the answer as newton 3rd law of motion but in depth how it really bounces?
When an object is in motion, such as a falling pencil, it posseses energy, there fore something must absorb it's energy to stop it to a rest. (example- a car in motion stops by the brAke absorbing it's energy). But energy is never destroyed or created, it can only be transferred from one form to another (example- the cars brakes heat up when used because the cars energy is being transferred to heat energy). So, the instant the falling pencil strikes the ground, it stops falling correct? But the energy the previously falling pencil possess must be transferred to another form of energy the energy can't be "lost" right? So what happens is some of the energy is converted to heat when it strikes the ground, you may not believe it but there is heat when it hits the ground because of friction. Furthermore, some of the energy is also converted to sound energy. (the pencil makes a sound when it hits the ground and sound is energy) but the heat and the sound energy combined is not enough to transfer all of the energy of the falling pencil. So where does this little extra energy go? You guessed it! Back up! It hits the ground, it goes back up because not all of it is transferred to another form such as sound or heat so it must go back up- or as you said, bounces. Hope this helped you understand.
