Concept explainers
A certain ball has the property that each time it falls from a height h onto a hard, level surface, it rebounds to a height rh, where
(a) Assuming that the ball continues to bounce indefinitely, find the total distance that it travels.
(b) Calculate the total time that the ball travels. (Use the fact that the ball falls
(c) Suppose that each time the ball strikes the surface with velocity v it rebounds with velocity —kv, where
