$A$ ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity $V_0$ from the surface of the earth. The motion of the ball is affected by a drag force equal to $m\gamma v^2$ (where $m$ is the mass of the ball,$v$ is its instantaneous velocity,and $\gamma$ is a constant). The time taken by the ball to rise to its zenith is:

What is the speed-time graph for a ball thrown vertically upwards? (Neglect air resistance)

$A$ 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 $\,m$)

The distance covered by a stone dropped from the top of a building in the last second of its motion is $0.36$ times the total distance travelled by it. The height of the building is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$). (in $m$)

$A$ body is projected vertically upward with a speed of $40 \, m/s$. The distance travelled by the body in the last second of its upward journey is ........... $m$. [Take $g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$ and neglect the effect of air resistance]
