Aball was dropped from a height of 10 feet. each time it hits the ground, it bounces 4/5 of its previous height. find the total distance traveled by the bouncing ball.

d = 90 ft

Explanation:

As we know that after each bounce it reaches to 4/5 times of initial height

so we can say

so the distance covered is given as

here we know that

h = 10 feet

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
