When a ball is thrown up vertically with velocity $V_o$,it reaches a maximum height of $h$. If one wishes to triple the maximum height,then the ball should be thrown with what velocity?

$A$ ball is thrown upward with speed $10 \, m/s$ from the top of a tower and reaches the ground with a speed $20 \, m/s$. The height of the tower is ......... $m$. (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

$A$ 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:
