Answer:
the decrease in energy is due to a transformational in internal energy of the body in the rebound.
Explanation:
For this exercise we can calculate the initial and final mechanical energy
Em₀ = U = m g y₁
= U = m g y₂
we look for the variation of the energy
ΔEm = Em_{f} - Em₀
ΔEm = m g (y_{f} -y₀)
ΔEm = m g (0.86 -1.2)
ΔEm = -3.332 m
We can see that there is a decrease in mechanical energy, this is transformed into internal energy of the ball during the impact with the ground, this energy can be formed by several factors such as a part of the friction with the surface, an increase in body temperature or a deformation of the body; there may be a contribution from several of these factors.
In conclusion the decrease in energy is due to a transformational in internal energy of the body in the rebound.

Answer:
Point a
Explanation:
The potential energy of an object is given by :
P = mgh
m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height above ground level.
Potential energy is directly proportional to the position of an object.
In the attached figure, the maximum height is shown at point (a). It means it will have maximum potential energy at a as compared to b,c and d.
