The sum of the series allows to find the result for the total distance that the ball bounces is:
total distance = 59.52 in
A series is a set of things or numbers related by a specific operation.
They indicate that the ball falls from an initial height y₀ = 30 in. and it bounces 50% of the height and the process is repeated until it stops, see attached.
Let's build a table to observe the sequence.
drop height rebound
1 30 15
2 15 7.5
3 7.5 3.75
If we call the first term y₀
The first bounce can be found.
y₁ =
The second bounces.
The third bounce.
By observing this table we can construct a series of the form
Total distance =
The sum of the serie has a result of
sum = 127/64 = 1,984
Let's calculate
distance total = 30 1,984
Distance total = 59.52 cm
In conclusion, using the sum of the series we can find the result for the total distance that the ball bounces is:
total distance = 59.52 in
