Which would best describe what occurs when a ball is thrown against a wall

It depends on how hard the ball is one and so if its hard it might put a dent in the wall depending on how the ball is thrown at the wall and how hard the ball is and like any other way or big and small and other ways you have to pay attention on how hard it is, how hard you threw it, and how big it is

i'm thinking more like energy

compass can be used day and night, cloudy or sunny
