(a)
To find: The height of the ball bounce up to after its strike the ground for the 3rd time.
(a)
Answer to Problem 36RE
Explanation of Solution
Given: A ball is dropped from a height of 20 feet. Each time it strikes the ground, it bounces up to three-quarters of the previous height.
Initial height of the ball = 20 feet.
After each bounces up loose one-fourth height of the previous one.
After 1 bounce height of ball
After 2 bounce height of ball
After 3 bounce height of ball
(b)
To find: The height of the ball bounce up to after its strike the ground for the nth time.
(b)
Answer to Problem 36RE
Explanation of Solution
Given: A ball is dropped from a height of 20 feet. Each time it strikes the ground, it bounces up to three-quarters of the previous height.
Initial height of the ball,
After each bounces up loose one-fourth height of the previous one.
After 1 bounce height of ball
After 2 bounce height of ball
After n bounce height of ball
(c)
To find: The number of bounce when height is less than 6 inches.
(c)
Answer to Problem 36RE
Explanation of Solution
Given: A ball is dropped from a height of 20 feet. Each time it strikes the ground, it bounces up to three-quarters of the previous height.
Initial height of the ball,
After each bounces up loose one-fourth height of the previous one.
After n bounce height of ball
So,
Hence, 4 bounces.
(d)
To find: The total distance covered when stops bouncing.
(d)
Answer to Problem 36RE
Explanation of Solution
Given: A ball is dropped from a height of 20 feet. Each time it strikes the ground, it bounces up to three-quarters of the previous height.
Initial height of the ball,
After each bounces up loose one-fourth height of the previous one.
After n bounce height of ball
Total distance travelled by ball
Hence, total distance travel by ball before its stops is
