The model for the bouncing ball is
Given:
Ball drops from
First bounce height
Second bounce height
Explanation:
By using the heights of the first and second bounces, determine
the first bounce measured
Substitute
Find the growth or decay factor
Use the formula
Substitute
Apply the model
In the first bounce, tennis ball rebound was approximately
Solve
Now, substitute
Thus, the model for the bouncing ball is
