$A$ stone is dropped from a height of $100 \ m$, while another one is projected vertically upwards from the ground with a velocity of $25 \ m/s$ at the same time. The time in seconds after which they will have the same height is (acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):

Draw the graph of $y$ versus $t$ for an object falling freely,where $y$ is the vertical displacement and $t$ is time.

Water droplets are coming from an open tap at a particular rate. The spacing between a droplet observed at $4^{th} \, s$ after its fall and the next droplet is $34.3 \, m$. At what rate are the droplets coming from the tap? (Take $g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$)

Two stones of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ (such that $m_1 > m_2$) are dropped $\Delta t$ time apart from the same height towards the ground. At a later time $t$,the difference in their speed is $\Delta v$ and their mutual separation is $\Delta s$. While both stones are in flight:

Two bodies are thrown simultaneously from a tower with the same initial velocity $v_0$: one vertically upwards,the other vertically downwards. The distance between the two bodies after time $t$ is
