6m for the drop
The first bounce is 8 (2/3 of 6 up and 2/3 of 6 down)
Each bounce is 2/3 of the previous
S = 6 + 8 / (1 - 2/3)
S = 6 + 8 / (1/3)
S = 6 + 24
S = 30

asked 11/12/20A ball returns two-thirds of its precceding height on each bounce. If the ball is dropped from a height of 6m, what is the total distance travelled by the ball before coming to rest?
