A ball is dropped from a height of 10 feet and returns to a height that is one-half of the height from which it fell. The ball continues to bounce half the height of the previous bounce each time. How far will the ball have traveled when it hits the ground for the fourth time?
10 down (bang1)
5 up
5down (2)
2.5 up
2.5 down (3)
1.25 up
1.25 down (4)
Now add them up :)
no no no melody!!! he or she is only looking for the answer! not just how you did it.
10-5 (1)
5-2.5 (2)
2.5-1.25 (3)
1.25-.625 (4)
add it all up and heres the stupid answer:
5+2.5+1.25+.625=9.375
overall, the ball traveled 9.375 ft
poor melody! poor misguided melody.
that's why you always listen to Titanium!
