A ball is dropped from a height of 32 feet. it bounces and rebounds 80% of the height from which it was falling
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

If it falls from 32 feet, how could the distance be 29 feet? Twelve bounces later, 58 is "obviously" incorrect as well. Eliminate those two before you do anything else.

The total distance up until that the nth bounce is  

Sn = (32 - 32(.8)12) / (1 - .8) = 149.004883722... = 149

adell [148]

Answer:

11.9051g

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{70-140}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow a=-116.67\ m/s^2

Absolute value of the (negative) average acceleration is 116.67 m/s²

\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{116.67}{9.8}\\\Rightarrow a=11.9051g

The deceleration was 11.9051g
