Physics Explanation
A ball is dropped from 90m height. At each collision with the floor, it loses one-tenth of its speed.
Initial speed at first impact: v = √(2gh) = √(2×10×90) = 42.43 m/s at t = 4.24s
Key points:
- Acceleration due to gravity: 10 m/s² downward
- After each bounce: vnew = 0.9 × vbefore bounce
- Time between bounces decreases with each bounce
- Speed decreases exponentially with each bounce
