Question

Cassidy dropped a ball from a height of 46 yards. After each bounce, the peak height of the ball is half the peak height of the previous height?

Answer 1

`129.375yd`

Explanation:

We have to add up the total distance per bounce, i.e. the distance from ground to peak, then peak to grouynd.

We have `2(46)+2(46/2)+2(46/4)+2(46/8)+2(46/16)`, however, we use half the bounce distance for drop and final bounce, so we actually have:

`46+2(46/2)+2(46/4)+2(46/8)+46/16=129.375yd`
