Explain what happened to the “lost energy” in the process of the ball bouncing off the ground.

If you drop the basketball, the force of gravity pulls it down, and as the ball falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. As the ball gets closer to the ground, its potential energy decreases. But, the ball also speeds up, so its kinetic energy increases.
