Expert Solution
Step 1

Given the ball is moving purely in vertical line, which is along y direction.

The graph shows the velocity time graph.

To draw the vatiation of position of ball with time.

Assumption taken here to draw the graph is that the duration for which the ball have positive velocity and negative velocity is same. And there is a sudsen jump (discontinuity) in the velocity profile. It means the velocity suddenly changes from positive to negative in the graph at tje mid of rhe motion.
