Total distance travelled before coming to rest After the first impact the sphere rises up to a height H given by 2 Then it falls from that height and causes a second impact with the plane After the second impact if the sphere rises up to a height H then from 2 the heights attained after the 2nd 3rd impacts are respectively H e H e e h eth H e2 H e e4 h and so on Hence considering the up and down motions the distance travelled d before coming to rest is given by the series d h 2e h 2e4h 2e6h h 2e h 1 e e e6 1 h 2e h 1 e 8 2
