Because the molecules that move freely begin to compact closer together, with less heat, means less molecular activity.
Answer:
Speed will be equal to 1.40 m/sec
Explanation:
Mass of the rubber ball m = 5.24 kg = 0.00524 kg
Spring is compressed by 5.01 cm
So x = 5.01 cm = 0.0501 m
Spring constant k = 8.08 N/m
Frictional force f = 0.031 N
Distance moved by ball d = 15.8 cm = 0.158 m
Energy gained by spring

Energy lost due to friction

So remained energy to move the ball = 0.0101 - 0.0048 = 0.0052 J
This energy will be kinetic energy


v = 1.40 m/sec

Energy is transferred between the ground and the atmosphere via conduction.
Since air is a poor conductor, most energy transfer by conduction<span> occurs right at the earth's surface</span>
