Something dissolved in a liquid is called a solution. The dissolved substance is called the solute. The liquid used for dissolving is called the solvent.
Solubility is a chemical property referring to the ability for a given substance, the solute, to dissolve in a solvent. It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. The resulting solution is called a saturated solution.
When ball is about to hit the ground, almost all its potential energy has already converted into kinetic energy. Thus at t=0.9 sec, it has least potential energy.
