A ball falls vertically downward and bounces off a horizontal floor. The speed of the ball just before reaching the floor (u1) is equal to the speed just after having contact with the floor (u2); u1 = u2 . The corresponding magnitudes of accelerations are denoted respectively by a1 and a2 . The air resistance during motion is proportional to speed and is not negligible. If g is acceleration due to gravity, then
option
(A) a1 < a2
(B) a1 > a2
(C) a1 = a2 g
(D) a1 = a2 = g
