The atmosphere is held to the earth by

$A$ stone is allowed to fall from the top of a tower $100 \, m$ high and at the same time another stone is projected vertically upwards from the ground with a velocity of $25 \, m s^{-1}$. Calculate when and where the two stones will meet? (Take $g = 10 \, m s^{-2}$).

The value of $g$ remains the same at all places on the surface of the earth. Is this statement true?

Do the gravitational forces obey Newton's third law of motion?

Define the "universal law of gravitation".

$A$ soft drink bottle is dropped by a waiter from the top of a hotel whose height is $100 \, m$. It takes $T$ seconds to reach the ground. Where will it be at $T/2$ seconds?
