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 the 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 from which the ball is dropped, the bounciness index, and the number of times the ball is allowed to continue bouncing. Output should be the total distance traveled by the ball. NOTE: your program needs to ask for the "bounciness" of the ball. Do not assume a value of 0.6

this is for my python class. I'm this far, but got a little stuck.
#Define the variable that is being inputed
ballInitial = float(input("Enter the initial height of the ball: "))
ballBounces = float(input("Enter the number of bounces the ball was allowed to continue bouncing: "))
ballHeight = float(input("Enter the height the ball bounced: "))
#Put the variables into the formulas
ballIndex = ballHeight // ballInitial
for i in range(ballBounces - 1)

Write a program that begins by reading in a series of positive integers on a single line of input and then computes and prints the product of those integers. integers are accepted and multiplied until the user enters an integer less than 1. this final number is not part of the product. then, the program prints the product. if the first entered number is negative or 0, the program must print “bad input.” and terminate immediately. next, the program determines and prints the prime factorization of the product, listing the factors in increasing order. if a prime number is not a factor of the product, then it must not appear in the factorization. sample runs are given below. note that if the power of a prime is 1, then that 1 must appear in t
