These are examples of English phrasal verbs. There is no real 'logic' to the words added to the main verb. Phrasal verbs are expressions that have come into customary usage over time.

Sometimes the meaning of the full phrasal verb is very different from the main verb itself. e.g. Turn.

* You can turn down or turn up the radio, you can even turn over a new leaf,

* So what happened when the bus turned up?
