The metal ball lost energy while the putty ball gained energy.
<h3>What is momentum?</h3>
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the body. We must note that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.
1) Kinetic energy before collision = 1/2mv^2 = 0.5 * 6 * 4 = 12 J
2) kinetic energy after collision = 0.5 * 6 * 2= 6 J
3) Kinetic energy of putty ball = 0.5 * 6 * 2= 6 J
4) Energy lost by the metal ball = 12 J - 6 J = 6 J
5) Energy gained by the putty ball = 6 J - 0J = 6 J
6) The rest of the energy was converted to heat after the collision.

<span>when it returns to its original level after encountering air resistance, its kinetic energy is
decreased.
In fact, part of the energy has been dissipated due to the air resistance.
The mechanical energy of the ball as it starts the motion is:
</span>

<span>where K is the kinetic energy, and where there is no potential energy since we use the initial height of the ball as reference level.
If there is no air resistance, this total energy is conserved, therefore when the ball returns to its original height, the kinetic energy will still be 100 J. However, because of the presence of the air resistance, the total mechanical energy is not conserved, and part of the total energy of the ball has been dissipated through the air. Therefore, when the ball returns to its original level, the kinetic energy will be less than 100 J.</span>

<span>brains need to be flexible because if they weren't we would never be able to increase our intellect. human beings are more flexible intellectually because we can turn our hands to more complex things and have the ability to learn better.</span>
