Infinitely bouncing ball

JEE Advanced 2019 Paper 2, Question 9

A ball is thrown from ground at an angle \theta with horizontal and with an initial speed u_{0}. For the resulting projectile motion, the magnitude of average velocity of the ball up to the point when it hits the ground for the first time is V_{1}. After hitting the ground, the ball rebounds at the same angle \theta but with a reduced speed of u_{0}/\alpha. Its motion continues for a long time as shown in figure. If the magnitude of average velocity of the ball for entire duration of motion is 0.8 V_{1}, what is the …
