A ball is thrown from the location $\left(x_0, y_0\right)=(0,0)$ of a horizontal playground with an initial speed $v_0$ at an angle $\theta_0$ from the $+x$-direction. The ball is to be hit by a stone, which is thrown at the same time from the location $\left(x_1, y_1\right)=(L, 0)$. The stone is thrown at an angle $\left(180-\theta_1\right)$ from the $+x$-direction with a suitable initial speed. For a fixed $v_0$, when $\left(\theta_0, \theta_1\right)=\left(45^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}\right)$, the stone hits the ball after time $T_1$, and when $\left(\theta_0, \theta_1\right)=\left(60^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}\right)$, it hits the ball after time $T_2$. In such a case, $\left(T_1 / T_2\right)^2$ is ______.

A ball is thrown from ground at an angle $$\theta $$ with horizontal and with an initial speed u0. For the resulting projectile motion, the magnitude of average velocity of the ball up to the point when it hits the ground for the first time is V1. After hitting the ground, the ball rebounds at the same angle $$\theta $$ but with a reduced speed of $${{{u_0}} \over \alpha }$$. Its motion continues for a long time as shown in figure. If the magnitude of average velocity of the ball for entire duration of motion is 0.8 V1, the value of $$\alpha $$ is ..................
