Answer: 2.0736 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Bounce 1: 16*3/5=9.6
Bounce 2: 9.6*3/5=5.76
Bounce 3: 5.76*3/5=3.456
Bounce 4: 3.456*3/5=2.0736
Answer:
The ball will bounce to 2.07 feet after 4th drop.
Step-by-step explanation:
Bradley dropped a ball from a roof 16 feet high. So, its the initial height.
Each time the ball hits the ground it bounces 3/5 the previous height.
Means after 1st drop, the ball will again rise to [tex]\frac{3}{5}\times16= 9.6[/tex] feet.
Similarly after 2nd drop, it will bounce to [tex]\frac{3}{5}\times9.6=5.76[/tex]
After 3rd drop, it will bounce to [tex]\frac{3}{5}\times5.76=3.456[/tex] feet
After 4th drop, it will bounce to [tex]\frac{3}{5}\times3.456=2.0736[/tex] feet
Hence, the ball will bounce to 2.07 feet after 4th drop.
