To solve the problem of calculating the work done by air friction on a body dropped from a height \( H \) that reaches the ground with a speed of \( 1.2 \sqrt{gH} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the initial and final kinetic energy - The initial kinetic energy (\( KE_i \)) of the body when it is dropped from height \( H \) is \( 0 \) (since it is at rest). - The final kinetic energy (\( KE_f \)) when it reaches the ground can be calculated using the speed given: \[ KE_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 ...
