Answer:
when the ball is bounced gravitationally energy is released (more info below)
Explanation:
When a force is applied down to the ball, the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy before it hits the earth. Cinetic energy is converted into vibration, thermal, and static electrical energy, before the momentum of the ball pushes the ball back up into the hands of the people.
hope this helped!
