After striking a floor a certain ball rebounds `(4/5)^(t h)` of the height from which it has fallen. Find the total distance that it travels before coming to rest, if it is gently dropped from a height of `120m e t r e sdot`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the total distance that the ball travels before coming to rest, we can break it down into steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Initial Drop:** The ball is dropped from a height of 120 meters. Therefore, the distance traveled in the first drop is: \[ d_1 = 120 \text{ meters} ...
