A Ball Is Dropped from a Height of 10 Feet

question 15

Short Answer

A ball is dropped from a height of 10 feet and bounces. Each bounce is 2/3 the height of the bounce before. Find an expression for the height to which the ball rises after it hits the floor for the n^th time, and use it to find the total vertical distance the ball has traveled when it hits the floor for the 4^th time. Round to 2 decimal places.
