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…

One out of a thousand Coke bottles you have is poisonous. You have ten test strips that you may use to look for poison. A single drop of poison will permanently mark the test strip as positive.A test strip may have any number of droplets applied at once, and it may be used again and again (as long as the results are negative). Tests can only be conducted once each day, and results don't come back for seven days. How could you identify the poisoned bottle in the shortest amount of time?Follow up: Write code to simulate your approach
