Question 1090914: The end of a pendulum travels 50 cm on its first swing. Each swing after the first, it travels 99% as far as the preceding swing. How far will the pendulum travel before it stops? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance that the pendulum swings can be found as the limit of the series 0.99n, with n going from 0 to 50. This yields a value of 5049/4 cms. as the distance the pendulum swings before coming to a complete stop. ☺☺☺☺
