Question 1003250: A ball is dropped from a height of 16m and each rebounds internet rises to 1/2 of the height from which it last fell.then what is the distance travelled by the ball when it hits the ground for the 5th time? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Well, this is a partial sum, but since it only asks for the 5th bounce, we can just list the distances...remember we alternate down and up distances...
16 + 8 + 8 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 46 m
