Sample Response: There is a common ratio of 2/3 between the height of the ball at each bounce. So, the bounce heights form a geometric sequence: 27, 18, 12. Two-thirds of 12 is 8, so on the fourth bounce, the ball will reach a height of 8 feet.

If x is the peak of the ball and y is the peak of the previous bounce, the formula can be used below to describe the sequence:

y * (2/3) = x
12 * (2/3) = x
8 = x

The ball reaches 8 ft on its fourth bounce.

when an object moves with constant velocity, does its average velocity during any time interval differ from its instataneous vel
BigorU [14]
For a constant-velocity object, the average and instantaneous are the same.  So the answer is no.  It's like taking a running average of a string of numbers that are all the same number.  The average is always the sum of the numbers divided by how many have accumulated, which will always equate to the repeated number.

What is the difference between kinetic and gravitacional energy?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.

In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies
