Many games depend on how a ball bounces. For example, if different basketballs rebounded differently, one basketball would bounc

e differently off of a backboard than another would, and this could cause basketball players to miss their shots. For this reason, manufacturers have to make balls' bounciness conform to specific standards. Listed below are "bounciness " standards for different kinds of ball. Tennis balls: Must rebound approximately 111 cm when dropped from 200 cm. Soccer balls: Must rebound approximately 120 cm when dropped from 200 cm onto a steel plate. Basketballs: Must rebound approximately 53 .5 inches when dropped from 72 inches onto a wooden floor. Squash balls: Must rebound approximately 29 .5 inches when dropped from 100 inches onto a steel plate at 70∘F Discuss with your team how you can measure a ball's bounciness. Which ball listed above is the bounciest? Justify your answer.

Answer:

Basketball = 0.743

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tennis:

Starting Height = 200 cm

Rebound Height = 111 cm

Soccer Balls;

Starting Height = 200 cm

Rebound Height = 120 cm

Basketball:

Starting Height = 72 inches

Rebound Height = 53.5 inches

Squash:

Starting Height = 100 inches

Rebound Height = 29.5 inches

For measuring the bounciness of a ball, one needs that starting Height of and the rebound Height of that ball which have been listed out above.

Calculating the rebound ratio of each balls.

Rebound Ratio = Rebound Height/Starting Height

Tennis: 111/200= 0.556

Soccer Balls: 120/200 = 1.667

Basketball: 53.5/72 = 0.743

Squash: 29.5/100 = 0.295

From the rebounding ratio calculated above, it can be seen that basketball has the highest rebound ratio of 0.743 and is the bounciest of all whole Squash has the least rebound of 0.295 ratio, hence it is the least bounce of all.

One card is selected at random from a deck of card. Determine the probability that the card selected is not a 4
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes over the total number of outcomes.

Assuming that this is a standard deck of playing cards, there will be 52 cards, and there will be 4 "4" cards.

First, find the number of desired outcomes, and put it over the total number of outcomes.

Out of the total number of outcomes (52), there are 4 outcomes that are not wanted, hence the equation is:

52 - 4 = 48

So out of the 52 possible outcomes, 48 are desired. Set up the fraction and

simplify:

48/52

/4   /4

= 12/13

6-5 solving rational equations 8/x+3=1/x+1
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

x = -5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

8/(x+3)=1/(x+1)

Using cross products

8*(x+1) = 1*(x+3)

Distribute

8x+8 = x+3

Subtract x from each side

8x-x +8 = x+3-x

7x +8 =3

Subtract 8 from each side

7x+8-8 = 3-8

7x = -5

Divide by 7

7x/7 = -5/7

x = -5/7

you have a part time job. you work 3 hours on friday and 6 hours on saturday. you also receive an allowance of $20 per a week. y
klemol [59]
$92/week is the amount of money you gained from work combined with your $20/week allowance money. 

92 - 20 = 72 (total money made per week subtract allowance money leaves money made from work)
Thus, you make $72/week at your part time job.

You work a total of 9 hours. (3hrs on Fri & 6hrs on Sat added together)
72/9 = 8 (total amount of money made divided by the 9 hrs you worked for - gives amount of money you make per hour)
Thus, you make $8/hr at your part time job.
