Answer:

28.75 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a  ball is dropped from a height of 10 meters. Each time it bounces, it reaches 50% of its previous height. So,

For first bounce the vertical distance a_1= 10\ m

For next bounce ball has to travel up and down by 50% of previous distance, i.e., 10 m.

For second bounce the vertical distance a_2=2\times (\dfrac{50}{100}\times 10)=2(5)=10\ m

Similarly,

For third bounce the vertical distance a_3=2\times (\dfrac{50}{100}\times 5)=2(2.5)=5\ m

For fourth bounce the vertical distance a_4=2\times (\dfrac{50}{100}\times 2.5)=2(1.25)=2.5\ m

For fifth bounce the vertical distance a_5=2\times (\dfrac{50}{100}\times 1.25)=2(0.625)=1.25\ m

The total vertical distance down the ball has traveled when it hits the the 5th time is

\text{Total distance}=a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5

\text{Total distance}=10+10+5+2.5+1.25  

\text{Total distance}=28.75\ m

Therefore, the total vertical distance  down the ball has traveled when it hits the the 5th time is 28.75 m.

A cheetah can travel three hours at top speed for 225 miles how many miles per hour?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The answer is 75 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

225÷3=75 ( how many times 3 go into 225)

We can check to see if this answer is correct by multiplying 75 by 3 ( multiply 75 three times)

75×3=225

There for 75 is the correct answer

(I hope this helped you answer your question. If you want to check if I'm correct you can use a calculator! Have a wonderful day!)

On a website, listeners rate music from 1 star to 5 stars. One song was rated 1 star by 3.5% of the listeners. There were 49 lis
defon

Answer:

1400

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5% of listeners rated the song as 1 star

49 listeners rated the song as 1 star

49 listeners = 3.5% of listeners

we want to find 100% of listeners. we can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 100/3.5, getting one side to 100% and the other to what it is equal to

49 * 100/3.5 listeners = 100% of listeners = 1400

Explain the reliability with suitable examples.
ryzh [129]
The term reliability in psychological research refers to the consistency of a research study or measuring test. For example, if a person weighs themselves during the course of a day they would expect to see a similar reading. Scales which measured weight differently each time would be of little use.
