a body falling from a height of 10m rebounds from a hard floor.It loses 20% of its energy in the impact.What could be the height to which it would rise after the impact

Given thathe body is dropped from a height, h1 = 10 m
Potentiaenergy at h1 = mgh1
Given g =10 m/s2 , h1 = 10 m
Therefore the potentiaenergy at h1 = m×10×10
 = 100m J
On strikinthe ground level, the ball looses 20% of its initiaenergy:
i.e. (20/100)× 100m J
=20m J
The energy left on strikinthe ground = 100 m J - 20 m J
= 80 m J
So the finaenergy of the ball , mgh2 = 80m J
i.e h2 = (80 /10) 
        = 8 m
Hence the body will bounce back to a height of 8 m after the impact.
