A CRANE LIFTS A WRECKING BALL TO SEVERAL
DIFFERENT HEIGHTS AND ALLOWS IT TO FALL.
A DEVICE IS USED TO MEASURE THE SPEED OF
THE BALL JUST BEFORE IT REACHES THE
GROUND. WHICH SHOWS THAT
LIFTING THE BALL TO A GREATER HEIGHT
TRANSFERS MORE ENERGY TO THE BALL?

Why the rest of the question?

This is what i found on google “kinetic energy. energy is transferred from one object to another when a reaction takes place. energy comes in many forms and can be transferred from one object to another as heat, light, or motion, to name a few. this energy would be in the form of motion, with the person lifting the blue ball to a higher level.” i hope this you

None. nothing. zero. zilch.

At maximum height, kinetic energy is converted in potential energy  formula: at max height, ke = ½ * 0.27kg * (16m/s) ² = 34.56 j  so the remaining pe = (41.70 – 34.56)= 7.14 j = 0.27 kg * 9.8m/s² * h  = (9.8/7.14 * 0.27)so max height h = 5.08 or 5 m
