$A$ 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

$A$ body falling under gravity covers two points $A$ and $B$ separated by $80 \ m$ in $2 \ s$. The distance of the upper point $A$ from the starting point is (use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$): (in $m$)

$A$ stone dropped from the top of a tower is found to travel $\left(\frac{5}{9}\right)$ of the height of the tower during the last second of its fall. The time of fall is ....... $s$.

Reaction time: When a situation demands our immediate action,it takes some time before we really respond. Reaction time is the time a person takes to observe,think,and act. For example,if a person is driving and suddenly a boy appears on the road,then the time elapsed before he slams the brakes of the car is the reaction time. Reaction time depends on the complexity of the situation and on an individual.
You can measure your reaction time by a simple experiment. Take a ruler and ask your friend to drop it vertically through the gap between your thumb and forefinger. After you catch it,find the distance $d$ travelled by the ruler. In a particular case,$d$ was found to be $21.0 \; cm$. Estimate the reaction time in seconds. (in $; s$)

The initial and final velocities of a body projected vertically from the ground are $20 \,ms^{-1}$ and $18 \,ms^{-1}$ respectively. The maximum height reached by the body is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,m$)
