(N/A) It is clear from the graph that displacement $x$ is positive during motion. The ball is dropped from a height and its velocity increases in the downward direction due to the gravitational field. In this condition,$v$ is negative,but the acceleration of the ball is equal to the acceleration due to gravity,i.e.,$a = -g$.
When the ball rebounds in the upward direction,its velocity is positive,but the acceleration remains $a = -g$.
$(a)$ The velocity-time graph of the ball is shown in fig. $(i)$.
$(b)$ The acceleration-time graph of the ball is shown in fig. $(ii)$.

$A$ balloon was moving upwards with a uniform velocity of $10 \, m/s$. An object of finite mass is dropped from the balloon when it was at a height of $75 \, m$ from the ground level. The height of the balloon from the ground when the object strikes the ground was around (in $m$). (Take the value of $g$ as $10 \, m/s^2$)

$A$ ball is dropped vertically from a height of $h$ onto a hard surface. If the ball rebounds from the surface with a fraction $r$ of the speed with which it strikes the latter on each impact,what is the net distance travelled by the ball up to the 10th impact?

$A$ ball thrown vertically upwards reaches a height of $25 \,m$ in $1 \,s$. The ratio of the total distance covered by the ball in time $t=2 \,s$ and $t=4 \,s$ is (Use $g=10 \,m/s^2$)
