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.

serg [7]

Answer:

2/7x +3=9

x=21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown be x.

Take 3 to the other side so: 2/7 multiplied by x= 6

Divide 6 by 2/7 to get the answer;

Therefore x=21

Sub back into equation to check answer.

A. Plot the data for the functions f(x) and g(x) on a grid and connect the points.
labwork [276]

Answer:

  a) see the plots below

  b) f(x) is exponential; g(x) is linear (see below for explanation)

  c) the function values are never equal

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a graph of the two function values is attached

__

b) Adjacent values of f(x) have a common ratio of 3, so f(x) is exponential (with a base of 3). Adjacent values of g(x) have a common difference of 2, so g(x) is linear (with a slope of 2).

__

c) At x ≥ 1, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x), and the value of f(x) is greater than the value of g(x), so the curves can never cross for x > 1. Similarly, for x ≤ 0, the slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). Once again, f(0) is greater than g(0), so the curves can never cross.

In the region between x=0 and x=1, f(x) remains greater than g(x). The smallest difference is about 0.73, near x = 0.545, where the slopes of the two functions are equal.
