Overall, kinetic energy is lost.
Overall, kinetic energy is lost.

All of the kinetic energy is kept by the ball.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Some of the energy is transferred to the water.

When a ball hits the water, some of its kinetic energy is transferred to the water, causing ripples and waves, while the ball itself loses some kinetic energy in the process.
