A ball is bouncing to a height that is 1/3 of the previous height after every bounce. What kind of sequence is this? How could y
1 answer:
Answer and Explanation:
The ball is bouncing to a height of 1/3 of its previous height this is a type of geometric sequence the total distance can be found by the sum of geometric sequence
For example let the initial height is 243 fit
After one bounce it will reach 243/3 =81 feet
After second bounce 81/3=27 feet
After third bounce 27/3 =9 feet
After fourth bounce 9/3 =3 feet
So a sequence is formed that is 243,81,27,9,3..........
Here
Sum of infinite GP =
From this formula we can find the total distance traveled by the ball

According to x-ray observations, the space between galaxies in a galaxy cluster is very hot. It is because the matter between galaxies (often called the intergalactic medium) is mostly hot, ionized hydrogen with bits of heavier elements such as carbon, oxygen and silicon thrown in.
Massive structures are collapsing than at earlier times. Large collapsing structures lead to higher velocity intergalactic shocks and, as a result, significant intergalactic shock heating, with some gas heated well above the K temperatures.
Heating also occurs as galaxies expel out most of the gas that fell into them. The final product is a warm/hot phase, with temperatures of > K.
Now, Let's know how do you use X-rays to make space observations?
X-radiation is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, so instruments to detect X-rays must be taken to high altitude by balloons, sounding rockets, and satellites.
