Right before it hits the ground and right after it bounces back up.
Potential energy is "stored energy;" the the energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of the particles of the system. If an object is moving very fact, it has kinetic energy, but if an object is in a position where it has the potential to move fast but isn't moving or moving very slowly, the object has a lot of potential energy. A bouncy ball has a parabolic pattern (Like an upside-down U) of movement as it bounces. At the top of the parabola- when the bouncy ball is highest in the air- it has the highest potential energy because it is not moving for that instant, but has the capacity to do so. as it moves downwards, it loses potential energy and gains kinetic energy. By the time it is about to hit the ground, it has the greatest kinetic energy because it gains momentum, and the least potential energy. As the ball bounces back up, it loses momentum, so it is losing kinetic energy and gaining potential energy. A bouncy ball has the least potential energy right before it hits the ground and right after it begins bouncing back up.
There is also an exchange of kinetic and potential energy as the ball hits the ground. Elastic energy is the potential mechanical energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as work is performed to distort its volume or shape. So, the kinetic gravitational energy (because gravity is doing the work) changes to elastic potential energy (it is not moving in any way for an instant, but has the potential to move in the sense of being squished down), and as the energy is being used to distort the shape of the ball, elastic kinetic energy. As the ball has been distorted to its maximum extent, it has more potential energy, which is transferred to kinetic as the ball first changes back to its original shape, elastic kinetic energy, and then bounces back up, when it begins to lose its kinetic energy again.

What form of energy does a bouncy ball have?
The form of energy a bouncy has is, sound energy,elastic energy,and gravitational energy.
What energy conversion is taking place when a boucny ball is dropped?
When a bouncy ball is dropped, potential energy stored in the ball is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. When the ball hits the ground, some of the kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy as the ball momentarily compresses before bouncing back up.
What type of energy conversion is taking place with a bouncy ball rising to a lower height with each bounce?
The potential energy of the bouncy ball is being converted to kinetic energy as it bounces back up. As it rises to a lower height with each bounce, some of its energy is also being dissipated as heat and sound.
Where does the energy go when a bouncy ball stops bouncing?
When a bouncy ball stops bouncing, the energy that was initially stored in the ball due to its deformation and compression is converted into other forms of energy such as heat and sound. This energy transfer causes the ball to gradually lose its bounce over time.
Why do your heavy and light balls not bounce higher than your bouncy ball?
The heavy ball has more inertia and the light ball has less energy, hence they do not bounce as high as the bouncy ball. The bouncy ball is designed with a material that can store and quickly release kinetic energy upon impact, leading to a higher bounce.

Consider al bouncing ball were would the ball have least gravitationl energy?
gravitational energy is the same as potential and kinetic energy. When the ball is further from the surface of the earth it will have the most potential energy and when the ball gets closer to the surface of the earth that potential energy turns into kinetic energy because it is being used to move the ball towards the surface.

What bounces more a golf ball or a bouncy ball?

When was Bouncy ball created?
Bouncy ball was created in 1965.
Is elastic energy useful in a bouncy ball or is it wasteful?
Elastic energy is useful in a bouncy ball because it allows the ball to deform and store the energy upon impact, which is then released as the ball bounces back. This enables the ball to bounce to a certain height and continue bouncing, making it a key factor in its design.
What is the difference of a bouncy ball and a jet ball?
A bouncy ball is a small ball that is made soley of rubber and bounces. There are only 7 Bouncy Ball Breeds Reconized by the BBA (Bouncy Ball Association) Jet Ball is a video game.
Does the size of a bouncy ball affect how high it bounces?
Oh, what a lovely question! The size of a bouncy ball can indeed affect how high it bounces. A larger bouncy ball may not bounce as high as a smaller one because it has more surface area touching the ground, which absorbs some of the energy. Just remember, no matter the size, every bouncy ball has its own unique way of bringing joy and fun into the world.
When throwing a ball when does the ball have the least amount of kinetic energy?
The ball has the least amount of kinetic energy at the highest point of its trajectory, where its potential energy is maximized. This occurs when the ball briefly comes to a stop before changing direction and starting to fall back towards the ground.
