Question

A ball is dropped from a height of 6 m.
After each bounce the ball rises to 2/3
of its previous height. What height
will it reach after the third bounce?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.7342 m

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find this, we need to find what 2 thirds of 6 is. The answer to that is 4, because 2/3 can be changed to 4/6, which means the 1st bounce would reach a height of 4m. Now, we need to find 2 thirds of 4, which is mildly harder. In order to find the exact value, we need to find what to multiply 3 by to get to 4. Unfortunately, you cant do that. Fortunately, though, I looked it up. So, On the 2nd bounce, the ball would reach 2.6 m. Now, we need to find 2 thirds of THAT, too, which would equal, on the third bounce, 1.7342 m.
