As per Newton's III law every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here we can say that

every body which apply force on other body must have a reaction force of same magnitude in opposite direction

So here if ball hits the ground by 50 N force then the ball must have a reaction force on itself with same magnitude and opposite direction

the magnitude of the force will be 50 N

and its direction is opposite to the force that ball apply on the floor
