A point like mass moves horizontally between two walls on a

A point like mass moves horizontally between two walls on a frictionless surfaces with initia kinetic energy E With every collision with the walls the mass loses 50 of its kinetic energy to thermal energy How many collisions with the walls are necessary before the speed of the 1 mass is reduced by a factor of 8 means it becomes th of initial speed 8
