A ball is dropped from a height $h$ on a floor of coefficient of restitution $e$. The total distance covered by the ball just before second hit is

• A

  $h\left(1-2 e^2\right)$
• Correct answer
  B

  $h\left(1+2 e^2\right)$
• C

  $h\left(1+e^2\right)$
• D

  $h e^2$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
