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 box with mass (m) it's sliding along on a friction-free surface at 9.87 m/s at a height of 1.81 meters. It travels down the hi
Rus_ich [418]
A) The answer is 11.53 m/s

The final kinetic energy (KEf) is the sum of initial kinetic energy (KEi) and initial potential energy (PEi).
KEf = KEi + PEi

Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KEf = 1/2 m * vf²
KEi = 1/2 m * vi²

Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PEi = m * a * h

So:
KEf = KEi + <span>PEi
</span>1/2 m * vf² =  1/2 m * vi² + m * a * h
..
Divide all sides by m:
1/2 vf² =  1/2 vi² + a * h

We know:
vi = 9.87 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
h = 1.81 m

1/2 vf² =  1/2 * 9.87² + 9.8 * 1.81
1/2 vf² = 48.71 + 17.74
1/2 vf² = 66.45
vf² = 66.45 * 2
vf² = 132.9
vf = √132.9
vf = 11.53 m/s


b) The answer is 6.78 m

The kinetic energy at the bottom (KE) is equal to the potential energy at the highest point (PE)
KE = PE

Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KE = 1/2 m * v²

Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PE = m * a * h

KE = PE
1/2 m * v² = m * a * h

Divide both sides by m:
1/2 * v² = a * h
v = 11.53 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s² 
h = ?

1/2 * 11.53² = 9.8 * h
1/2 * 132.94 = 9.8 * h
66.47 = 9.8 * h
h = 66.47 / 9.8
h = 6.78 m

Direct current, DC, flows in a _________ direction while alternating current, AC, the direction of flow ___________. A) single,
kramer
The flow of Direct current (DC) is constant and flows in one direction. Most digital electronics make use of DC. Alternating current (AC) periodically flows in reverse and is mostly used to deliver power to houses, buildings and the like. With that alone, you can already rule out A, C and D. 

The answer would then be B. constant, periodically reversing.
