Answer: The height of its fourth bounce = 0.43m
Explanation:
The coefficient of restitution denoted by (e), is the ratio that shows the final velocity to initial relative velocity between two objects after collision
IT is given by the formula in terms of height as
Coefficient of Restitution, e = √(2gh))/√(2gH) = √(h/H)
Where
Coefficient of Restitution, e= 0.821
H = 2.07 m
At fourth bounce , we have that
Coefficient of Restitution, e⁴ =√(h₄/H)
Putting the given values and solving , we have,
e⁴ =√(h₄/H)
= 0.821⁴ = √(h₄/2.07)
(0.821⁴ )² =h₄/2.07
0.2064 x 2.07 = 0.427 = 0.43
At fourth bounce, h₄ height = 0.43m
