A ball is dropped from an initial height and allowed to bounce repeatedly. On the first bounce (one up-and-down motion), the bal

l reaches a height of 32 inches. On each successive bounce, the ball reaches 75% of its previous height. What is the total vertical distance that the ball travels in 10 bounces? (Do not include the initial height from which the ball is dropped.)

Answer:

S₁₀ = 241.5837 m

Explanation:

If

h₁ = 2*32 in = 64 in

h₂ = 0.75*h₁ = (0.75)*64 in = 48 in

h₃ = 0.75*h₂ = 0.75*(0.75*h₁) = (0.75)²*h₁ = (0.75)²*64 in = 36 in

h₄ = 0.75*h₃ = 0.75*(0.75*h₁) = (0.75)³*h₁ = (0.75)³*64 in = 27 in

...

h₁₀ = 0.75*h₉ = (0.75)⁹*h₁ = (0.75)⁹*64 in = 4.8054 in

It is a geometric sequence (geometric progression) where the common ratio is

r = 0.75

Finding the sum of terms in a geometric progression is easily obtained by applying the formulas:

10<em>th</em> partial sum of a geometric sequence

S₁₀ = h₁*(1 - r¹⁰) / (1 - r)

⇒   S₁₀ = 64*(1 - 0.75¹⁰) / (1 - 0.75)

⇒   S₁₀ = 241.5837 m

olga_2 [115]

The correct answer is A. Acid rain forms from human activities and lowers the pH of rainwater below 7

Explanation:

The term "acid rain" is used to refer to rainwater with a low pH or a high acidity, this includes rainwater with a pH below 7 (solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic). In terms of formation, acid rain is mainly the result of human activities such as factories or cars that release pollutants into the atmosphere including nitric and sulfuric acids and these alter the natural pH of rain and makes it more acidic. Additionally, acid rain has negative consequences such as the death of fishes and other organisms in lakes, rivers, etc. because the acidity is toxic to many organisms. Thus, acid rain is the result of human activities and it lowers the pH of rain (Option A).

What distance separates Earth and the Sun? A 300,000 km per second B Eight light-minutes C 149 million light-seconds D One light
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

B Eight light-minutes

Explanation:

In the case when the distance separated earth and the sun so here we orbit the sun for a 150 million km distance and the light moves would be 300,000 kilometers per second

Now divide this

= 150 million ÷ 300,000 kilometers per second

= 500 seconds

This 500 seconds represent 8 minutes and 20 seconds

Hence, option B is correct
