A body of mass 1 kg is thrown vertically up with an initial speed of 5 m s^-1. What is the magnitude and direction of force due to gravity acting on the body when it is at its highest point? Take G = 9.8 n kg^-1

A body of mass 1.5 kg is dropped from a height of 12 m. What is the force acting on it during its fall? (g = 9.8 ms⁻²)

Two balls of masses in ratio 1 : 2 are dropped from the same height find

a) the ratio between their velocities when they strike the ground and
