Given:

A ball bouncing eventually comes to stop.

To find:

What kind of a system is this?

Step-by-step explanation:

An open system is a system where the free exchange of matter and energy with the surroundings takes place.

A closed system is where only the energy of the system is shared with the surrounding. In these kinds of systems, the exchange of matter does not take place.

An isolated system is where neither matter nor energy is exchanged between the system and the surrounding.

When a ball is bouncing, it gradually loses its kinetic energy to the surroundings and eventually comes to stop. But the mass of the ball remains the same. Thus this is a closed system.

Final answer:

The given system is a closed system.

Therefore the correct answer is option B.
