The total energy of a rubber ball in a box is contained in the ball's gravitational potential energy, its kinetic energy of motion, and its thermal energy. Energy can be transferred from one of these forms to another as the ball moves around. You throw the ball into the box and leave it for 10 minutes. When you return, most of the ball's energy will have
A. turned into thermal energy.
B. turned into gravitational potential energy.
C. turned into kinetic energy of motion.
D. turned into random bouncing of the ball around the box.
