A smooth tunnel is dug along the radius ...

A smooth tunnel is dug along the radius of earth that ends at centre. A ball is released from the surface of earth along tunnel. Coefficient of restitution for collision between soil at centre and ball is `0.5`. Calculate the distance travelled by ball just before second collision at centre. Given mass of the earth is `M` and radius of the earth is `R`.
