Problem A
A basket ball is dropped from a height of 200cm. It bounces on a solid surface to a height that can be expressed as the height divided by 2. What is thee final bounce height?
The Answer : 100
My Working out.
200 divided by 2 = 100Slide3
Problem B
Calculate what the bounce height will be if the ball is dropped from half of the original height in the previous question.
The Answer : 25
My Working out.
100 divided by 2 = 50 divided by 2 = 25Slide4
Problem C
A super bouncy ball was recently advertised as being able to bounce very high. After dropping it from a height of 25 meters, the ball lost only 25% of its starting height. To what height did the ball bounce?
The Answer : 18.75cm
My Working out.
25% out of 100% = 25/100 = ¼ = 4
¼ of 25m = 25 divided by 4 = 6.25 = 24 r 1 =
18.75cm
