$A$ small steel ball bounces on a steel plate held horizontally. On each bounce, the speed of the ball arriving at the plate is reduced by a factor $e$ (coefficient of restitution) in the rebound, so that $V_{\text{upward}} = e V_{\text{downward}}$. If the ball is initially dropped from a height of $0.4 \text{ m}$ above the plate and if $10 \text{ s}$ later the bouncing ceases, the value of $e$ is:
