3. A ball is dropped initially from a height of 1.2 m. The rebound from the floor is 3/5 of the previous height. (a) Find the height to which the ball rises at the 2nd bounce.
(b) Find the total distance that the ball has travelled when it hits the floor for the tenth time.
(c) Assuming that the ball continues to bounce in the same way indefinitely, find the total distance that the ball travels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height above which the ball is released be  H  

This problem can be tackled using geometric progression.

The  nth  term of a Geometric progression is given by the above, where  n  is the term index,  a  is the first term and the sum for such a progression up to the  Nth  term is

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
