Example 3. A ball is thrown 12 meters in the air (so that the initial up-and-down distance is
24 meters). The ball rebounds 95% of the distance it falls. What is the total vertical distance
traveled by the ball before it stops bouncing? This experiment will use the concepts of Total
Energy, Kinetic Energy (KE), and Potential Energy (PE) that you have already studied.
kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its
motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given
mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its
acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed
changes.
Potential energy is the energy stored within an object, due to the object's
position, arrangement or state
Total energy is the sum of all different types of energies a body can have.
A body usually has 2 types, kinetic energy and potential energy.
VIII. Making generalizations Note that if 𝑟 ≥ 1, the values of 𝑆𝑛 are not guaranteed to approach a finite number as n
and abstractions about approaches infinity.
the lesson If 𝑟 ≤ −1 the values of 𝑆𝑛 are not guaranteed to approach a finite number.

6. A child on a swing is given a big push. She travels 12 feet on the first back-and-
forth swing but only as far on each successive back-and-forth swing. How far (total
distance) does she travel before the swing stops?
