Question
A rubber ball bounces on the ground as shown. After each bounce, the ball reaches one-half the highest of the bounce before it. If the time the ball was in the air between the first and second bounce was 1 second, what would be the time between the second and third bounce?
- 0.50 sec
- 0.71 sec
- 1.0 sec
- 1.4 sec
The correct answer is: 0.71 sec
