All of the kinetic energy is kept by the ball.

Overall, kinetic energy is gained.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Overall, kinetic energy is lost.

When a ball hits the water, some of its kinetic energy is transferred to the water, causing it to create waves or splashes, and some energy is dissipated as heat due to the impact. Therefore, the ball loses overall kinetic energy upon impact.
