Answer: The height after the third bounce is 3.1 meters

Explanation: We know that after every bounce the ball rebounds to 80% (or 0.8 in decimal form) of its previous hight. So if the first height was 6m, after the first bounce, the height will be:

H1 = 6m*0.8 = 4.8m

after the second bounce we have:

H2 = 4.8m*0.8 = 3.84m

and in the third bounce, the height is:

H3 = 3.84m*0.8 = 3.072m

Now we need to round it to the nearest thenth, this is the first number after the decimal point.

We can see that the second number after the decimal point is a 7, so we should round up, and get H3 = 3.1m

Another way to model this situation is with the equation:

H(b) = 6m*0.8^b

Where b is the number of bounces that the ball did.

in this situation, the third bounce is when b= 3, and we have that:

H(3) = 6m*0,8^3 = 3.072m, which is the same result as before.

The formula to solve this is (.80)^3 X 6 and the answer would be 3.1 feet. That is how high the ball will rebound after its third bounce. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.

A kayaker moves 26 meters southward, then 18 meters
Svetllana [295]

Total distance: 56 meters. Magnitude and direction of displacement: 20 meters South.

Explanation:

The term distance refers to space between one point and other, or the total space a body or object covered while moving. In the case presented, this can be calculated by adding the partial distances given. This means the total distance is  56 meters as 26 meters + 18 meters + 12 meters = 56 meters.

On the other hand, displacement considers the distance from the initial position to the final position, and the direction of movement. This means partial distances should not be added but each movement should be considered according to the direction. The process is shown below:

-The first movement was 26 meters southward; this means by the end of this movement the distance between the initial position was 26 meters south.

- The second movement was 18 northward; this means the kayaker moved 18 meters towards the position. This changes the displacement to 8 meters South as 26 meters south - 18 meters north = 8 meters to the South.

-The last movement was 12 meters sound; this means the kayaker increased the distance from the original position 8 meters to the South + 12 meters to the South = 20 meters South (total displacement.)
