It seems like that the author don't know the difference between speed and engery. zhougelin 8 Sep 2004 19:42

I don't think so.
T ~ V^2, assuming that gives ac

hmm... i think the same. In each jump energy decreases K times, then (E = mv^2/2) speed decreases sqrt(k) times.
But my solution, which assuming that speed descreases k times (not sqrt(k)), got AC... Strange

Sorry for my poor English=)

No,you are wrong,it's correct.

Each time v decreases in sqrt(k) times,but we use Vx*Vy,so it decreases in k times.

I agree with you

kinetic engergy decreases in K times
speed decreases in sqrt(K) times

Because E=1/2*m*v^2
