a rubber ball is dropped from a height of 100 feet and each time it rebounds 1/2 of the height from which it last fell. How far does the ball travel before it comes to rest.

Question

Can you tell me the velocity with which it hits the ground ? During 1st fall, i.e. 100 feet.

anonymous · Answer

this is a precalc problem not a physics problem so it doesn't give the velocity. but the answer's 300 if that helps. however i have no idea how my teacher got this answer.

Oh am sorry, I read half of the velocity, my bad

It is an infinite GP

Have you read about infinite GP ?
