0.25\,\text{kg}

ball is thrown straight upward from the ground with an initial speed of

12\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1}

. While the ball is in flight, air resistance exerts a constant downward force of

0.80\,\text{N}

in addition to the ball’s weight. Using

g=9.8\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-2}

, determine the maximum height the ball reaches above the launch point.
