A 1.47-newton baseball is dropped from a height of 10.0 meters and falls through the air to the ground. The kinetic energy of the ball is 12.0 joules the instant before the ball strikes the ground. The maximum amount of mechanical energy converted to internal energy during the fall is_________.
I need help to solve this and I can’t get the answer when I tried:(

Ok so like people view this yet can’t help me I don’t understand
the potential energy before the drop is ... m g h ... 1.47 N * 10.0 m ... 14.7 J
it appears that 2.7 J is converted to internal energy ... 14.7 - 12.0
it appears that 2.7 J is converted to internal energy ... 14.7 - 12.0
