The required speed is 15.35 m/s, if air resistance is ignored.
The magnitude of average force of air resistance is 1.0341N.
a) V = √2gh
The required speed is
V = √2(9.8)(12)
V = 15.35m/s
b) W = 1/2m([tex]v^{2}[/tex]-[tex]u^{2}[/tex])
W = (mg - f)h
( (0.145)(9.8) - f)12 = 1/2(0.145)(([tex]8^{2}[/tex]))
(1.421 - f)12 = 4.64
Force of an air resistance = 1.0341N
