^{What is the definition of dissipated energy?}

• Energy that is released into the atmosphere that will never return again
• Heat from the sun that is released into energy for our world
• Energy that is dissipated as sound energy
• Energy that is released into the surrounding area, usually as thermal

A baseball player hits a pitch, and it goes flying before a player catches it in the air. The players hand goes back after the the ball hits their glove due to the velocity of the hit. What happened to the energy?

• Some of the energy is transferred to the glove
• The energy does not go to the glove
• The energy is stopped by the glove and none is left

_{I throw a softball in a room and it bounces off the walls, what happens to the energy?}

• It stays constant in the ball and keeps bouncing
• It immediately stops bouncing due to all the energy going to the wall.
• The energy slows down
• The energy dissipates until the ball is not gaining energy and it slows to a stop

_{What is the true about the waves?}

•  The top wave has a longer wavelength, lower frequency, and slightly bigger amplitude
• The bottom wave has a higher frequency, a longer wavelength, and  lower amplitude
• The bottom wave has smaller frequency, shorter wavelength, and higher amplitude
• The top wave has a larger wavelength, lower frequency, and a smaller amplitude
