Question

A ball is dropped from a height of 1 meter onto the floor, where it starts bouncing. With each successive bounce the ball attains a maximum height of 2/3 the height attained on the previous bounce. Write down an expression for the total distance travelled (this will be a series), and compute the distance travelled.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a=1

r=2/3

$s=\frac{a}{1-r}=\frac{\frac{2}{3}  }{1-\frac{2}{3} }  =\frac{2}{3} *\frac{3}{1} =2\\total~ distance=1+2*2=1+4=5~ meter.$
