What is the efficiency of a 0.60 kg basketball that, one dropped from a 2.0 m height (from basket rim), rebounds to 1.2 m in height (G = 10 N/KG)

Let us find the efficiency : Ans = 0.6

Explanation:

we know:

efficiency = output/input

We also know that:

output = m x g x h

where:

m = mass of body

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of body from floor

Thus, output = 0.6 x 10 x 1.2 = 7.2J

Similarly, input = 0.6 x 10 x 2 = 12J

Thus efficiency = 7.2/12 = 0.6
