A boy holds a ball of clay above the floor. He drops the clay ball, and it speeds up as it falls to the
floor. The clay ball flattens as it hits the floor and remains flat. When the clay ball hits the floor, the clay
and the floor get a little warmer. (Assume that no energy is transferred between the clay ball and the air
or between the floor and the air.)
