Concept explainers
To identify: The variable according to the set of numbers the best describes its values:
The number of times n a ball bounces; the height h from which the ball is dropped.
Given information:
The given statement says that the number of times n a ball bounces; the height h from which the ball is dropped.
Explanation:
Consider the given situation:
If a ball were to be dropped from a height h , it would continue to bounce at 0 and 1, 2, 3, etc.
A ball should therefore bounce a whole number of times. As it is known that whole numbers includes that set of natural numbers and 0 that do not include negative, fractions, or decimal numbers.
The ball rises to a height h after each bounce, though this height is not necessarily a natural number and occasionally might even be a fraction.
The height h should be a rational number because all numbers that can be written as a quotient of integers
