Explanation:
In terms of heat, we can say the dropped ball gained more heat as the potential energy changes to kinetic energy.
Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy formed as a result of the movement of the particles of a medium.
As the ball falls through the height, it collides with the ground frictional heating between air and the ball, and that of the ball and the surface causes the change in temperature after the collision.
In terms of heat, the ball has transformed kinetic energy into frictional heating after collision causing an increase in temperature after collision.
