The height a ball bounces is less than the height of the previous bounce due to friction. The heights of the bounces form a geom

etric sequence. Suppose a ball is dropped from one meter and rebounds 95​% of the height of the previous bounce. What is the total distance traveled by the ball when it comes to​ rest? Does the problem give you enough information to solve the​ problem? How can you write the general term of the​ sequence? What formula should you use to calculate the total​ distance?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the first height be h . second height .75h

third height .75h . fourth height .75²h

fifth height .75²h , sixthth height .75³ and so on

Total distance consists of two geometric series as follows

1 ) first series

h + .75h + .75²h + .75³h......

2 )  second series

.75h +.75²h +.75³h + .75⁴h .......

Sum of first series :

first term a = h , commom ratio r = .75

sum = a / (1 - r )

= h / 1 - .75

= h / .25

4h

sum of second series :--

first term a = .75 h , commom ratio r = .75

sum = a / (1 - r )

= .75h / 1 - .75

= .75h / .25

3h

Total of both the series

= 4h + 3h

= 7h .

h = 1 m

Total distance = 7 m

The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/gºC. How many Joules of
densk [106]

Answer:

Q = 59565 [J]

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount of thermal energy needed we must use the following equation.

Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{i}-T_{f})

where:

m = mass = 150 [g]

Cp = 4.18 [J/g*°C]

Tfinal = 5 [°C]

Tinitial = 100 [°C]

Now replacing:

Q=150*4.18*(100-5)\\Q=59565[J]

A block slides down a frictionless incline with constant acceleration. After sliding 6.80 m down, it has a speed of 3.80 m/s. Wh
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

speed when the block had slid 3.40 m is 2.68 m/s

Explanation:

given data

distance = 6.80 m

speed = 3.80 m/s

to find out

speed when the block had slid 3.40 m

solution

we will apply here equation of motion that is

v²-u² = 2×a×s   ..............1

here s is distance, a is acceleration and v is speed and u is initial speed that is 0

so put here all value in equation 1 to get a

v²-u² = 2×a×s

3.80²-0 = 2×a×6.80

a = 1.06 m/s²

so

speed when distance 3.40 m

from equation 1 put value

v²-u² = 2×a×s

v²-0 = 2×1.06×3.40

v² = 7.208

v = 2.68

so speed when the block had slid 3.40 m is 2.68 m/s
