$\cdot$ CE Predict/Explain As you walk briskly down the street, you toss a small ball into the air. (a) If you want the ball to land in your hand when it comes back down, should you toss the ball straight upward, in a forward direction, or in a backward direction, relative to your body? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following: $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { If the ball is thrown straight up you will leave it behind. }} \\ {\text { II. You have to throw the ball in the direction you are walking. }} \\ {\text { III. The ball moves in the forward direction with your walking }} \\ {\text { speed at all times. }}\end{array} $$
Distance A ball is dropped from a height of 6 feet and begins bouncing as shown in the figure. The height of each bounce is three-fourths the height of the previous bounce. Find the total vertical distance the ball travels before coming to rest.
