Questions Related to collisions

A rubber ball is bounced on the floor of a room which has its ceiling at a height of  $3.2{ m }$  from the floor. The ball hits the floor with a speed of  $10 m / { s },$  and rebounds vertically up. If all collisions simply reverse the velocity of the ball, without changing its speed, then how long does it take the ball for a round trip, from the moment it bounces from the floor to the moment it returns back to it ? Acceleration due to gravity is  $10 m / s ^ { 2 }.$
