      Question

      A rubber ball is dropped from a height of 2 metres. To

      what height will it rise if there is no loss of energy/velocity after rebounding?
      A 4 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 3 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 2 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1 metre Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The potential energy of a body when raised through height h is given by mgh. Each time, a normal rubber ball hits the floor, it loses one-fifth of its total energy and the rebound height is proportional to energy, so each bounce will rebound to four-fifth of the previous bounce.
