An expression for the height of the nth bounce is 0.80X^N = Height.
<h3><u>Equations</u></h3>
Since when dropped, a super ball will bounce back to 80% of its peak height, continuing on in this way for each bounce, to determine an expression for the height of the nth bounce the following calculation must be performed:
X = Initial value
80% = 0.80
N = Number of times the ball bounces
0.80X^N = Height
Therefore, an expression for the height of the nth bounce is 0.80X^N = Height.
