Question: A bouncy ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground. Air resistance is negligible, and the ball's collisions with the ground are perfectly elastic. Which of the following plots in the figure shows the kinetic energy of the ball as a function of time? Assume the collisions are too quick for their duration to be seen in the plot. *Note: This problem references figure(s): `image_question/F=MA_2024_04_1.png`*
