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

Why is the contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of secondary wave front zero?​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of the wave front is zero because of something known as the Obliquity Factor. It is assumed that the amplitude of the secondary wavelets is not independent of the direction of propagation, Sources: byju's.com
