Answer:
The ball traveled 116.25 m when it hit the ground for the fifth term
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric progression exercise and what we are asked to look for is the sum of a GP.
The ball was dropped from a height of 60 m. This means that the initial height of the ball is 60 m.
First value, a = 60
Each time it hit the ground, it bounced up 1/2 (half) of the height that it dropped.
This is the common ratio, r = 1/2 = 0.5
The number of terms it hits the ground is the number of terms in the GP.
number of terms, n = 5
The distance traveled by the ball when it hit the ground for the fifth term will be modeled by the equation:
![S_n = \frac{a(1 - r^n) }{1 - r} \\S_5 = \frac{60(1 - 0.5^5) }{1 - 0.5}\\S_5 = \frac{58.125}{0.5} \\S_5 = 116.25 m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_n%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Ba%281%20-%20r%5En%29%20%7D%7B1%20-%20r%7D%20%5C%5CS_5%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B60%281%20-%200.5%5E5%29%20%7D%7B1%20-%200.5%7D%5C%5CS_5%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B58.125%7D%7B0.5%7D%20%5C%5CS_5%20%3D%20116.25%20m)
The solution would be like
this for this specific problem:
<span>V = ∫ dV </span><span>
<span>= ∫0→2 ∫
0→π/2 ∫ 0→ 2·r·sin(φ) [ r ] dzdφdr </span>
<span>= ∫0→2 ∫
0→π/2 [ r·2·r·sin(φ) - r·0 ] dφdr </span>
<span>= ∫0→2 ∫
0→π/2 [ 2·r²·sin(φ) ] dφdr </span>
<span>= ∫0→2 [
-2·r²·cos(π/2) + 2·r²·cos(0) ] dr </span>
<span>= ∫0→2 [
2·r² ] dr </span>
<span>=
(2/3)·2³ - (2/3)·0³ </span>
<span>= 16/3 </span></span>
So the volume of the
given solid is 16/3. I am hoping that these answers have satisfied
