उत्तर १
Ball is dropped from a height, s = 90 m
Initial velocity of the ball, u = 0
Acceleration, a = g = 9.8 m/s2
Final velocity of the ball = v
From second equation of motion, time (t) taken by the ball to hit the ground can be obtained as:
`s = ut + 1/2 at^2`
`90 = 0 + 1/2 xx 9.8t^2`
`t = sqrt(18.38) = 4.29 s`
From first equation of motion, final velocity is given as:
v = u + at
= 0 + 9.8 × 4.29 = 42.04 m/s
Rebound velocity of the ball, ur = `9/10v = 9/10 xx 42.04 = 37.84 "m/s"`
Time (t) taken by the ball to reach maximum height is obtained with the help of first equation of motion as:
v = ur + at′
0 = 37.84 + (– 9.8) t′
t' = (-37.84)/-9.8 = 3.86 s
Total time taken by the ball = t + t′ = 4.29 + 3.86 = 8.15 s
As the time of ascent is equal to the time of descent, the ball takes 3.86 s to strike back on the floor for the second time.
The velocity with which the ball rebounds from the floor = `9/10xx37.84 = 34.06 "m/s"`
Total time taken by the ball for second rebound = 8.15 + 3.86 = 12.01 s
The speed-time graph of the ball is represented in the given figure as:

उत्तर २
u = 0, a = 10 ms-2, S = 90 m, t = ?, v = ?
Using `v^2 - u^2 = 2as, v^2 - (0)^2 = 2xx10xx90`
=> v = `30sqrt2` "m/s"
Again using `S = ut + 1/2at^2, 90 = 0 xx t + 1/2 xx 10t^2`
`=> t= sqrt18 s = 3sqrt2 s`
Rebound velocity = `9/10 xx 30sqrt2 ms^(-1) = 27sqrt2 ms^(-1)`
Time taken to reach highest point = `(27sqrt2)/10` s = `2.7sqrt2` s
Total time = `(3sqrt2 + 2.7sqrt2)s = 5.7sqrt2 s`

OA represents the vertically downward motion after the ball has been dropped from a height of 90m. The reaches the floor with a velocity of `30sqrt2 ms^(-1)` after having been in motion for `3sqrt2 s`. The verticle straight portion AB represent the loss of 1/10 th of speed, BC represents the vertically upward motion after first rebound. The ball reaches the highest point in `27sqrt2`s. The total time from the beginning is `3sqrt2+2.7sqrt2` i.e `5.7sqrt2` s.
C represent the highest point reached after first rebound. CD represent the vertically downward motion. D represents the situation when the ball again reaches the floor DE represent the loss of speed.

A popular game in Indian villages is goli which is played with small glass balls called golis. The goli of one player is situated at a distance of 2.0 m from the goli of the second player. This second player has to project his goli by keeping the thumb of the left hand at the place of his goli, holding the goli between his two middle fingers and making the throw. If the projected goli hits the goli of the first player, the second player wins. If the height from which the goli is projected is 19.6 cm from the ground and the goli is to be projected horizontally, with what speed should it be projected so that it directly hits the stationery goli without falling on the ground earlier?
