Does the mask of a ball impact the kinetic energy?
1 answer
The mask of a ball does not directly impact the kinetic energy of the ball. Kinetic energy depends on the mass and velocity of an object. The presence of a mask may change the aerodynamic properties of the ball and create additional drag, which could affect the velocity and thus indirectly impact the kinetic energy of the ball. However, the effect is likely to be minimal unless the mask significantly alters the shape or weight distribution of the ball.
