Dear student,

Taking the vertically upwards direction as positive, for the entire motion, the displament of the ball iss=-h. Initial velocity of ball isu=+vand acceleration isa=-g

Sinces=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

\implies -h=vt-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2
\implies t^2-\dfrac{2v}{g}t-\dfrac{2h}{g}=0
\implies t=\dfrac{v}{g}+\sqrt{\dfrac{v^2}{g^2}+\dfrac{2h}{g}} =\dfrac{v}{g}(1+\sqrt{1+\dfrac{2gh}{v^2}})
