Answer 1

lets say your node is called box

use the touches began function

override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
    for _ in touches{
        let touch:UITouch = touches.first!
        let touchLocation = touch.location(in: self)
        box.physicsBody?.velocity = CGVector(dx: 0, dy: 0)
        box.physicsBody?.applyImpulse(CGVector(dx: 0, dy:300))

    }

}

the applyImpusle method takes an x value to move along the x axis(left or right) and takes a y value to move along the y axis (up or down). set dy accordingly.

rest of it depends on your scene properties like gravity , friction , mass of the box and so on
