A ball is dropped from the top of a building.Each time it hits the ground,it bouncestpa height which is 3/4 of the height from which it last fellIf it bounces6.75 m on the third bounce,from the height was it dropped?

Sagot :

Height of the building = x
height of third bounce = 6.75 m
Number of bounce = 3

Equation (Geometric sequence formula):
(3/4)³ (x) = 6.75

(27/64) (x)  = 6.75

(64/27) [ (27/64)(x) = 6.75 ] (64/27)

x = (6.75) (64/27)

x = 432/27

x = 16

ANSWER:  The height (of the building) from which the ball was dropped
                     is 16 m.

-----------------------

Check:
To find the height of second  bounce:
6.75 = height of the 3rd bounce.
x₂ = height of the second bounce

Since 6.75 is 3/4 of the height of the previous bounce x₂, then:
3/4 (x₂) = 6.75
(4/3) [3/4 (x₂) = 6.75 ] (4/3)
x₂ = 6.75 (4/3)
x₂ = 9 m,  height of the second bounce

To find the height of first bounce:
9 m = height of the second bounce
x₁ = height of the first bounce

Since 9 m is 3/4 of the first bounce x₁, then:
3/4 (x₁) = 9
(4/3) [ 3/4 (x₁) = 9] (4/3)
x₁ = 12 , height of the first bounce

To find the height from where  the ball was dropped:
12 m = height of the first bounce
x = height of the building

Since 12 m is 3/4 of the height from where the ball was dropped, then:
3/4 (x) = 12
(4/3) [ 3/4(x) = 12)] (4/3)
x = 12 (4/3)
x = 16 m, the height from where the object was dropped.
