10. When a rubber ball is dropped from a height, h cm on to a flat concrete floor, it rebounds to 3 5 h cm a height of Given a r

ubber ball is dropped from a height of 120cm. Find a) the maximum height achieved by the ball after 2 bounces b) the total distance travelled by the ball when it hits the floor for 10 ^ m times. c) the total distance travelled by the ball if the ball continues to bounce in the same way indefinitely.​

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height above which the ball is released be H

This problem can be tackled using geometric progression.

The nth term of a Geometric progression is given by the above, where n is the term index, a is the first term and the sum for such a progression up to the Nth term is

To find the total distance travel one has to sum over up to n=3. But there is little subtle point here. For the first bounce ( n=1 ), the ball has only travel H and not 2H. For subsequent bounces ( n=2,3,4,5...... ), the distance travel is 2×(3/4)n×H

a=2H..........r=3/4

However we have to subtract H because up to the first bounce, the ball only travel H instead of 2H

Therefore the total distance travel up to the Nth bounce is

For N=3 one obtains

D=3.625H

Answer:

  • tan B = 12/5
  • cos B = 5/13
  • sin B = 12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the applicable ratios:

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent   ⇒   tan B = CA/CB = 12/5

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse   ⇒   cos B = BC/BA = 5/13

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse   ⇒   sin B = AC/AB = 12/13

Hip Breadths and Aircraft Seats
Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 98% of all males. (Accommodating 100% of males would be too expensive.) Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.4 in. and a standard deviation of 1.0 in. Find P 98. That is, find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 98% from the largest 2%.
