Let the initial speed be u and height reached be h.
For the upward journey,
0 = u + (F/m - g)T1
T1 = u / (g -F/m) ---------(1)

And

0 = u2 +2(F/m - g)h
h = u2 /2(g - F/m) ---(2)

For the downward journey,
-h = (1/2)[ -(F/m + g)]T22
 
T2 = [(2u2 /2(g - F/m)/)/(F/m + g)]   (Substituting the value of h from (2))
T2= u/ (g2 - (F/m)2) -------(3)

Now,
(g + F/m)>(g - F/m)
Multiplying both sides by (g - F/m)
(g2 - (F/m)2)>(g - F/m)2
(g2 - (F/m)2)>(g - F/m)
u/ (g2 - (F/m)2)<u / (g -F/m)
T2<T1

As the functions to be formed are onto, the two elements in the co-domain set must have at least one pre-image.
For the first of these two elements, the number of ways of selecting a pre-image is n & for the second element is n-1
No. of ways of selecting one distinct pre-image is n(n-1).
The rest n-2 elements in the domain set can link to either of the two elements in the co-domain set. Basically the problem reduces to dividing this set of n-2 elements into two sets, each containing atleast one element. The number of ways to do this is n-3.

Hence the total number of ways to do this is n(n-1)(n-3)

This formula is valid only for n>3.
For n=1, no onto functions are possible.
For n =2, only one onto function is possible.
For n= 3, the no. of ways of selecting one preimage for the two elements is 3x2 = 6. For the remaining one element in the domain there are only two choices. Hence the total number of functions is 6 x 2 = 12. But out of these only 6 are distinct.

Transform the integral as follows

I = ( cos2x)/sinx = ((cos2 x - sin2 x))/sinx = ((1 - tan2 x))/tanx
(Dividing the Nr & Dr by cosx)

Substitute tanx = t

I = [( (1-t2 ))/t][1/(1+t2 )] dt = [( (1-t2 ))/t(1+t2 )] dt

Substitute 1-t2  = u2

I = - [u /t(2-u2 )][u/t} du = - [u2 /(1-u2 )(2-u2 )]du = [u2 /(u2 -1)(2-u2 )]du
=(1/2) [2(u2 -1) +  (2-u2 )/(u2 -1)(2-u2 )]du = (1/2)[2/( (2-u2 ) du - 1/(1-u2) du]
= (1/ 2)ln[( 2 + u)/( 2 - u)] - (1/ 2)ln[( 2 + u)/( 2 - u)]
=(1/ 2)ln[( 2 + (1 - tan2 x))/( 2 - (1 - tan2 x))] - (1/ 2)ln[( 2 + (1 - tan2 x))/( 2 - (1 - tan2 x))]
=(1/ 2)ln[( 2 cosx + (cos2 x - sin2 x))/( 2 cosx - (cos2 x - sin2 x))] - (1/ 2)ln[( 2 cosx + (cos2 x - sin2 x))/( 2 cosx - (cos2 x - sin2 x))]
= (1/ 2)ln[( 2 cosx + (cos2x))/( 2 cosx - (cos2x)]
- (1/ 2)ln[( 2 cosx + (cos2x))/( 2 cosx - (cos2x))]

Hope the answer si right ... Lengthy ...phew!!

Differentiation is essentially the process of finding the slope of the tangent of a given curve. When we say that a function is differentiable at a point, what we essentially mean is that its curve has a unique tangent at the point specified.

A non differentiable function doesn't have a unique tangent at the point under consideration. For example, consider the graph of |x|. At the origin you can have two tangents. So it isn't differentiable at x = 0. However for all other points it is differentiable.

The base is obviously greater than unity. Any base greater than 1 raised to a large power tend to infinity
So the answer is infinity

Effective acceleration of the bodies
aA = g+R/mA
aB = g+R/mB

Height attained by the bodies
HA = u2 /2aA
HB = u2 /2aB

Let mA >mB
g+R/mA < g+R/mB
u2 /2aA > u2 /2aB
HA >HB

Hence the heavier mass attains greater height.

The rotation of earth around its own axis makes it a non inertial frame, for if we are to observe the equilibrium of any particle in the reference frame of earth, we mus introduce pseudo force. The effect of earth rotation is the reason for the coriolis forces that are observed on any particle moving on earth's surface, when observed in the reference frame of earth. Look up the last solved problem in HC Verma's Circular motion. You will get a fairly good idea of coriolis forces from there.

A similar effect is caused by the rotation of earth around the sun.

Now as to why we treat the earth as inertial frame for most problems. First these effects can be neglected for most problems that we solve at +2 level. Second, the complexity of the problem increases twofold.
So for a simpler analysis, we neglect such effects & assume that Newton's Laws are applicable.

Most of you have read projectiles and know how to find the equation of trajectory when the initial velocity, angle of projection are given.

Lets consider a reverse problem:
Given a general quadratic equation, lets find its initial velocity, angle of projection, time of flight, etc., etc, etc ....

Consider a quadratic equation
y = ax2+bx+c -------------(1)
The X axis is considered to be the horizontal plane, and the Y axis is vetial, positive up.
Now, for this equation to represent a projectile, it should be a parabola that opens downwards, ie, a<0
Also, it should have two real roots. For the case of a single real root, the equation represents a particle thrown vertically upwards.
So = b2 - 4ac >0

Lets assume that the particle is projected from the X axis only.
Then, if c>0, the particle is projected from the left of the origin.
If c = 0, the particle is projected from origin.
If c< 0, the particle is projected from the right of the origin.

Differentiating the equation wrt x,
dy/dx = 2ax + b
Equating it to zero, we get the critical point
xc = -b/2a
d2 y/dx= 2a <0
Hence xc is a point of maxima.
H = ymax = y(xc ) = -/4a -----------------(2)

Differentiating the equation wrt time t,
dy/dt = 2ax(dx/dt) + b(dx/dt) ---------------(3)
Differentiating again wrt t
d2 y/dt2 = (2ax + b)(d2 x/dt2) + 2a(dx/dt)2 ---------------(4)
Now,
d2 y/dt2 = -g & d2 x/dt2 = 0
Substituting these values in (4)
-g = (2a)vx2
vx (-g/2a), which is a constant. -----------------(5)
So the X component of velocity remains constant.

From (3),
vy = (2ax+b)vx -------------------(6)

Let the roots of the equation (1) be & such that <. Then x = is the projection point. Hence at the projection point,

ux (-g/2a) &
uy = (2a+b)vx

Now as is a root of the equation (1)
= (-b+ )/2a
(2a+b) =

Hence at projection point,
ux (-g/2a) &
uy = (-g/2a)

So initial speed,
u = ux2 + uy2
   
(1+)(-g/2a) --------------------(7)

Angle of projection
= tan-1 (uy / ux) = tan-1 ------------------(8)

Time of flight
T = 2uy/g = (-/2ag)

Horizontal range
R = 2uy ux /g = - /a ------------------(9)

These derived equations provide a complete description of the projectile.
u =  [(1+)(-g/2a)]
= tan-1
R = - /a
T =  (-/2ag)
H = -/4a

Lets take an example to see these formulas in work

Let the equation be
y = -x2+5x-6

The constant term is -ve, hence the particle is projected from the  +ve X axis
=  1

u =  [(1+)(-g/2a)] = 10 m/s
= tan-1 = 45 deg
R = - /a = 1 m
T =  (-/2ag) = 1/(2 5) s
H = -/4a = 1/4 m

About potential energy ....

Lets take an example

Consider two masses kept at a distance from each other. Let one of the masses be fixed. The other mass experiences a gravitational attraction due to the fixed mass. If  the free mass is not stopped, then it will accelerate towards the fixed mass and gain kinetic energy.

Now we will not let the free mass gain kinetic energy. Suppose an external agent applies a force equal and opposite to the gravitational force. Then the free mass is at equilibrium. Now suppose we move the free mass very slowly by an infinitesimal distance dx along the line joining the two particles, away from the fixed mass. The forces still approximately balance. (The gravitational force will change a little, but we may neglect it as the change is very small)

Now, the work done by the external force (against the gravitational force) during this small displacement does not increase the KE of the body, for the particle doesn't accelerate, So where does it go???

Now, work done always changes energy content. We define this work to correspond to the change in potential energy.
Hence
dW = Fext dx = dU
As Fext= Fgrav
dU = -Fgrav dx

Or more generally,
dU =Fext dx =  -Fcons dx
That is change in PE is the amount of work done by an external force against a conservative force without changing the KE

Well, this is the question Einstein posed to his wife while explaining to her the basic difficulties of his theories.
For further details see any site that discuss Einsteins works.
However, the question is not in the realm of JEE
