We can use v=u+at to calculate speed of the ball after ts,

here, u=4ms1,a=g,t=2

So, v=4+29.8=23.6ms1

And,if its speed is V while touching the ground,then we can use, v2=u2+2gh

here, h=16m

So, V=16+2169.8=18.157ms1

Oops! The velocity value while touching the ground is less than the velocity found at 2s,that means the ball has reached the ground before that.

Let's calculate time required to reach the ground,using V=u+gt

So, t=18.15749.8=1.45s

So,now if we consider that after the impact the ball went upwards,and also consider that coefficient of restitution was 1,then that ball will go up with the same velocity.

So,for (21.45)=0.55s while going up,if it achieves a velocity of v,then we cans say,

v=ugt

here, u=18.157ms1

So, v=12.767ms1 (upwards)(this is the velocity at the end of 2s)
