If you're talking about velocity, it would change drastically upon hitting the ground. Because it is a vector quantity, the number would be it's negative since the object moves backwards..

However, if you're talking about speed, the number would not change much upon hitting the ground. If drawn on graph, it would look like a wave that steeps down everytime it hits the maximum point and have the same minimum point; zero, a wave which gradually gets smaller over time.
