When momentum remains strong, the ball will likely continue falling to the 3rd floor. Possibly there is a carpet on the deck of the 3rd floor, making the deck stronger to hold the fall of the ball and then the ball may bounce back, going up and down between the ceiling and the deck of the 3rd floor. In other words, the ball moves between the 4th and the 3rd floor.
