Let the y-axis point vertically upward, with the floor at y=0. At time t, a small ball of mass m is released from rest at height y=H and falls freely. The ball hits the floor and bounces up, reaches its highest point, falls again, and makes a second collision with the floor.
Let the coefficient of restitution (bounce coefficient) between the floor and the ball be e. Ignore air resistance and the size of the ball. Let the magnitude of gravitational acceleration be g.
Find the height h2 reached by the ball after the second collision.
Find the value of h2 and give the answer as a positive integer equal to h2 multiplied by 100.
