Question 290501: When a ball is dropped to the floor it bounces to 4/5th of the height from which it has been dropped. If it is dropped from a height of 2 meters, after how many bounces will its height go below ½ a meter? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (4/5)^x*2=.5
4/5^x=.25
on the 6th bounce x is at .26
The 7th ball bounce is less than .5 meter.
