Initial velocity is 8.4, so your starting point is (0, 8.4). The time taken for the ball to reach the ground is .47 second and the velocity with which it reaches the ground is 12.9, so your second point is (.47, 12.9). The velocity increased and the ball accelerated so it's a straight line with an increasing gradient. The ball remained in contact with the ground for .02 s so there was a time lapse within which the velocity changed, this is shown by the dotted line. The velocity fell from 12.9 to -4.2 as the direction is now reversed and the ball begins to move up.so your next point is (.49, -4.2)
the rebound velocity is 4.2. Use v = u+ at to calculate the time after which the ball comes to rest. 0 = 4.2 + 10* t, t= .42 sec
total time the ball traveled =.47 + .02+ .42 = .91 sec and it's final velocity is 0 m/s
so your final point is (.91, 0)
