A ball is dropped from a height of 10m. If the energy of the ball is reduced to 40% after striking the ground,how much high can the ball bounce back ?? (g=10m/s²)

in this question we apply. MGH
h =10
g=10
m=40
MGH=10×10×40=4000

rajid: but mass is not given....
rajid: it is the energy reduction which is 40 %
sunny703: i don know
rajid: okay

Since, height = 10 m,  Acceleration due to gravity(g) = 10 m/s^2
Let the mass be m
Therefore, Potential Energy= m x g x h
=> Potential energy = m x 10 x 10 =100m
SInce, Inital Potential energy is always equal to final kinetic energy...
Therefore, Original kinetic energy= 100m
After bouncing back, Reduced Kinetic energy = 40% of 100m = 40m
Since, Initial kinetic energy = Final potential Energy
Therefore, 40m = m x g x h                         ( Since, mass remains constant 
=>40 = 10 x h                                                    and thus gets cancelled out) 
=> h = 4 metre. Ans
