You drop a ball from a height of 0.5 meter. Each curved path has 52% of the height of the previous path. a. Write a rule for the sequence using centimeters. The initial height is given by the term n = 1. b. What height will the ball be at the top of the third path?
Accepted Solution
A:
The initial height is .5 m. If the ball only reaches 52% of the previous max height, then after the third bounce you have: .5 x (.52)^3=0.070304 meters as the height of the ball ☺☺☺☺
