    Hi Riccardo,
    No the width of each  arc will be smaller and smaller.

    A good way to think about it is that the parabola gets the bottom section chopped off of the previous parabola.  This means the width is reducing each bounce.

    The X location curve will be linear while it is in the air, and then instantly change speed on each contact.  Like I tried to explain in the video yesterday.
    Hope that helps.
