A ball is dropped from a height of 10 m


Asked by maham237 @ in Mathematics viewed by 315 People


Each time it bounces, it reaches 50 percent of its previous height. The total vertical distance the ball has traveled when it hits the ground the fifth time is ______ meters. How many meters is it?

Answered by maham237 @



A ball falls from the height of 10 m.
1st bounce: 0.5 * 10 = 5 m
2nd bounce: 5 * 0.5 = 2.5 m
3rd bounce: 2.5 * 0.5 = 1.25 m
4th bounce: 1.25 * 0.5 = 0.625 m
After that the ball hits the ground the 5th time.
Total distance:
10 + ( 5 * 2 ) + ( 2.5 * 2 ) + ( 1.25 * 2 ) + ( 0.625 * 2 ) =
= 10 + 10 + 5 + 2.5 + 1.25 = 28.75 m
Answer: The total vertical distance the ball has traveled when it hits the ground the 5th time is 28.75 m.
