Textbook Question
Chapter 2.3, Problem 26P
Suppose that you are stranded—your rocket engine has failed—on an asteroid of diameter 3 miles, with density equal to that of the earth with radius 3960 miles. If you have enough spring in your legs to jump 4 feet straight up on earth while wearing your space suit, can you blast off from this asteroid using leg power alone?

The two blocks of Figure 6.17 are
attached to each other by a massless
string that is wrapped around a
frictionless pulley. When the bottom
4.00-kg block is pulled to the left by the
constant force P, the top 2.00-kg block
slides across it to the right. Find the
magnitude of the force necessary to
move the blocks at constant speed.
Assume that the coefficient of kinetic
friction between all surfaces is 0.400.

A standard science experiment is to drop a ball and see how high it bounces. Once the “bounciness” of the ball has been determined, the ratio gives a bounciness index. For example, if a ball dropped from a height of 10 feet bounces 6 feet high, the index is 0.6 and the total distance traveled by the ball is 16 feet after one bounce. If the ball were to continue bouncing, the distance after two bounces would be 10 ft + 6 ft + 6 ft + 3.6 ft = 25.6 ft. Note that distance traveled for each successive bounce is the distance to the floor plus 0.6 of that distance as the ball comes back up. Write a program that lets the user enter the initial height of the ball and the number of times the ball is allowed to continue bouncing. Output should be the total distance traveled by the ball.
Please name your function "bounce" that has three arguments (initial height, index, number of bounce) and return the total distance traveled by the ball. (float) Skip the part where users can enter the inputs of…
