A ball is thrown vertically downward from a height of \(20~\text m\) with an initial velocity \(v_0.\) It collides with the ground, loses \(50\%\) of its energy in a collision, and rebounds to the same height. The initial velocity \(v_0\) is: 
(Take, \(g=10~\text{ms}^{-2}\))
1. \(14~\text{ms}^{-1}\) 
2. \(20~\text{ms}^{-1}\)
3. \(28~\text{ms}^{-1}\)
4. \(10~\text{ms}^{-1}\)
