A ball is thrown horizontally from a height with a certain initial velocity at time $t=0$. The ball bounces repeatedly from the ground with the coefficient of restitution less than $1$ as shown below. Neglecting air resistance and taking the upward direction as positive, which figure qualitatively depicts the vertical component of the ball's velocity $v_y$ as a function of time $t$ ?
