    A particle is thrown from the top of a tower of height h with speed v_0 at an unknown angle. Find the speed with which it strikes the ground.

    In the above problem find the speed with which the stone hits the ground .

    A stone is dropped from a height h simultaneously another stone is thrown up from the ground with such a velocity so that it can reach a height of 4h. The time when two stones cross each other is sqrt(((h)/(kg))) where k = "_____"

    A ballon moves up vertically such that if a stone is thrown from it with a horizontal velocity v_(0) relative to it the stone always hits the ground at a fixed point 2v_(0)^(2)//g horizontally away from it. Find the height of the balloon as a function of time.

    A stone is thrown upwards from the top of a tower with some initial speed and it reaches the ground in 16 seconds. Now it is thrown with the same initial speed downward and it reaches the ground in 9 sec . In how much time will it reach the ground if the stone is allowed to fall freely under gravity from the same place ?
