In 2011, artist Hans-Peter Feldmann covered the walls of a gallery at the New York Guggenheim Museum with 100,000 one-dollar bills (Fig. P1.48). Approximately how much would it cost you to wallpaper your room in one-dollar bills, assuming the bills do not overlap? Consider the cost of the bills alone, not other supplies or labor costs.

We know that the total energy of the ball is purely kinetic when it bounces off the floor, and the energy is purely gravitational when the ball reaches maximum bounce height. We will focus on the percent energy loss during each collision. The percent energy loss is the energy lost during the collision divided by the initial energy of the ball.
