An object of mass $5 \, kg$ is thrown vertically upwards from the ground. The air resistance produces a constant retarding force of $10 \, N$ throughout the motion. The ratio of time of ascent to the time of descent will be equal to [Use $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$]

$A$ boy standing on a stationary lift (open from above) throws a ball upwards with the maximum initial speed he can,equal to $49\; m s^{-1}$. How much time does the ball take to return to his hands? If the lift starts moving up with a uniform speed of $5\; m s^{-1}$ and the boy again throws the ball up with the maximum speed he can,how long does the ball take to return to his hands?

Two stones are thrown up simultaneously from the edge of a cliff $200 \; m$ high with initial speeds of $15 \; m s^{-1}$ and $30 \; m s^{-1}$. Verify that the graph shown in Figure correctly represents the time variation of the relative position of the second stone with respect to the first. Neglect air resistance and assume that the stones do not rebound after hitting the ground. Take $g = 10 \; m s^{-2}$. Give the equations for the linear and curved parts of the plot.

$A$ ball is thrown up vertically with a certain velocity so that it reaches a maximum height $h$. Find the ratio of the times at which it is at height $\frac{h}{3}$ while going up and coming down respectively.

If a ball is thrown at a velocity of $45 \,m/s$ in the vertical upward direction,what would be the velocity profile as a function of height? (Assume $g = 10 \,m/s^2$)

$A$ ball projected vertically upwards with a velocity '$v$' passes through a point $P$ in its upward journey in a time of '$x$' seconds. From there,the time in which the ball again passes through the same point $P$ is
