  • A
    Positive,negative
  • B
    Negative,negative
  • C
    Positive,positive
  • D

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards. The times corresponding to a specific height while ascending and while descending are $t_{1}$ and $t_{2}$ respectively. Then the velocity of projection is (where $g$ is acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ body falls from rest in the gravitational field of the earth. The distance travelled in the fifth second of its motion is ......... $m$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$.

$A$ person throws balls into the air vertically upward at regular intervals of time of $1 \,s$. The next ball is thrown when the velocity of the ball thrown earlier becomes zero. The height to which the balls rise is (Assume $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,m$)

$A$ ball of mass $m$ is thrown vertically upwards. Assume the force of air resistance has magnitude proportional to the velocity,and direction opposite to the velocity. At the highest point,the ball's acceleration is
