Best Answer

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.
