A lot of things happen when an object bounces. Some of the objects energy, or momentum, goes into the floor which causes the surrounding floor to warm up slightly. Also, there is inefficiency that will cause the ball to eventually stop bouncing.
Also, hearing the ball hit the floor means that energy went into the surrounding air molecules, causing them to heat up slightly as well as allowing you to hear the ball hit the floor. All of this causes energy to be lost in the bouncing.

Explain why the height of a bouncing ball decreases after each bounce?
because some of the energy that helps the ball to bounce is absorbed into the surface it is bouncing on (because the ball can be squashed) and so the energy deflected back up into the air again is less and less each time it bounces.
Is energy lost during evaporation?
no
WHY IS BOUNCING DURING A STRETCH IS NOT RECOMMENDED?
Bouncing can tear muscle fibers
Energy transfer diagram bouncing ball?
Potential energy to Kinetic energy
What type of energy is lost from a muscle cell during respiration?
heat energy

When a bouncing ball stops bouncing where does the energy go?
Heat.
Is energy lost during evaporation?
no
Why is energy lost from going to one organism to the next?
Energy is lost as heat during respiration.
WHY IS BOUNCING DURING A STRETCH IS NOT RECOMMENDED?
Bouncing can tear muscle fibers
Why is bouncing during stretching is not recommended?
Bouncing can tear muscle fibers
How energy lost during transmission?
It's lost as thermal heat to surroundings.
What type of energy is always lost during energy transformations?
Kinetic or potential energy are always present during energy transfers.
Energy transfer diagram bouncing ball?
Potential energy to Kinetic energy
What type of energy is lost from a muscle cell during respiration?
heat energy
Why is thermal energy lost during energy trasnformations?
Because some of the energy is absorbed by surroundings
In condensation is energy gained or lost?
Condensation is exothermic. Energy is released during condensation. Energy can not be "lost" but merely change from one form to another.
