an engineer designed a ball so that when it was dropped , it rose with each bounce exactly one - half as high as it had fallen . the engineer dropped the ball from a 16 - meter platform and caught it after it had traveled 45 meters . how many times did the ball bounce ?
n0 = 16.0
n1 = 45.0
t0 = n0 / 2.0
answer = t0 / 2.0
