if you consider a logical answer then it will bounce upto height of 0.5 Meters…..

i dont kno if some formula has to be applied…i have simply calculated it….

that suppose it falls from 64 m then at the 1st bounce it will reach 32 m

then at 2nd bounce 16 m

then at 3rd bounce 8 m

then at 4th bounce 4 m

then at 5th bounce 2 m

then at 6th bounce 1 m

and at the 7th bouce 0.5 m

i suppose this is the right answer…

It’ll bounce 1/2 a meter or 30 cms on it’s 7th bounce,

it follows as such:

1st bounce 64:2=32

2nd bounce 32:2=16

3rd bounce 16:2=8

4th bounce 8:2=4

5th bounce 4:2=2

6th …………. 2:2=1

7th …………. 1:2= 1/2

You see, every time the ball bounces up to the top height and it drops, mathematically, it’s like the start of the equation all over again,

hope this helps…

The long way is to divide 64 by 2 seven times.

64 32 16 8 4 2 1 1/2

0.5 meters. Devide 64 by 2 7 times. It’s simple.

You have to picture this problem in your head. Whether the ball is dropped from someone’s hand or it is free falling, it will fall to the ground with the same momentum/force. So, if it starts from 64m high, it will reach 32m after the first bounce.

After the second, 16m

third, 8m

fourth, 4m

fifth, 2m

sixth, 1m

seventh, 0.5 m

So, I think the answer is 0.5m.

Half of 64 is 32 meters.

32×7=224

The ball will bounce 224 meters on it’s 7th bounce :]

I hope I helped.

if its dropped from 64m, it will bounce to 32

2nd drop, will bounce from 32 to 16

3rd drop, will bounce from 16 to 8

4th drop wil bounce from 8 to 4

5th drop will bounce from 4 to 2

6th drop will bounce from 2 to 1

7th drop will bounce from 1 to 50cm

I think you just take 64 then divide it by half then its answer by half and do that to the answers 7 times.Good Luck.
