The situation narrated above is a geometric sequence with first term equal to 10 and the common ratio equal to 0.87. Since there is no telling as to how low will the bounce be, the sequence is infinite.

The equation for the sum of the terms in an infinite geometric sequence with common ratio that is lesser than 1 is,
             S = Ao/(1 - r)
 Substituting,
             S = (10 ft) / (1 - 0.87)
              S = 76.923 

We multiply the sum by two.
              2S = 76.923 x 2 = 153.846
We subtract 10 from this because the first bounce does not travel twice.
               
<em>ANSWER: 143.846 ft</em>

A wave has a speed of 30 m/s, a frequency of 6 Hz, and a wavelength of 5 m. If the wavelength remains constant, and the frequenc
mixer [17]

Answer: 60m/s

Explanation:

The wavespeed is the distance covered by the wave in one second. It is measured in metre per second, and represented by the symbol V

Wavespeed (V) = Frequency F x wavelength λ

i.e V = F λ

In the first case:

Wavespeed = 30 m/s

Frequency of sound = 6Hz

Wavelength = 5m

In the second case:

Wavespeed = ?

Frequency of sound = (2x 6Hz = 12Hz)

Wavelength = 5m (remains constant)

Apply V = F λ

Wavespeed = 12 Hz x 5m

Wavespeed = 60m/s

Therefore, when frequency is doubled, the speed is also doubled. Thus, the new speed of the wave is 60m/s

What is the rising of rock layers called
Alex777 [14]

The answer of this question is called uplift i.e the rising of rock layers in geology is called uplift.

Uplift is the process in which there will be vertical elevation of earth surface due to various natural processes occurring inside the surface of earth like earth quakes. Sometimes uplift is also caused by the mountain building which hampers the balance of a particular region.

In the process of uplift,the rocks normally metamorphic rocks present underground will be brought up to the earth surface.The enhanced elevation will cause erosion of lot of materials on the surface of earth.

How long would it take a drag racer to increase her speed from 10m/s to 20 m/s if her car accelerates at a uniform rate of 15 m/
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

t = 0.67 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation.

v_{f} =v_{i} +(a*t)\\where:

Vf = final velocity = 20[m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 10 [m/s]

a = aceleration = 15 [m/s^2]

Now replacing in the equation we have:

20 = 10 + (15*t)

t = (20-10)/15

t = 0.67 [s]
