1.125 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Initial height of the ball,![h_{0}=72\textrm{ m}](/tpl/images/0367/2338/e0ff7.png)
Height after first bounce,![h_{1}=36\textrm{ m}](/tpl/images/0367/2338/1e487.png)
Height after second bounce,![h_{2}=18\textrm{ m}](/tpl/images/0367/2338/54734.png)
So, the reduction in height after each bounce is half of the previous one. Thus, it follows a geometric sequence with the first term as 72 and common ratio of
.
Therefore, the nth term of a geometric sequence is given as:
Here,
. This gives,
Therefore, the height of the ball after sixth bounce is 1.125 m.
