A point mass is shot vertically up from ground level with a velocity of 4 m/s at time, t = 0

Q. A point mass is shot vertically up from ground level with a velocity of 4 m/s at time, t = 0 . It loses 20% of its impact velocity after each collision with the ground. Assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2 and that air resistance is negligible, the mass stops bouncing and comes to complete rest on the ground after a total time (in seconds) of
