A 200g ball thrown vertically upwards at a speed of 25m / s reaches a height of 22. Calculate the loss of energy due to the resistance of the air. What is the average strength of the air resistance

Without air resistance, the ball would reach a height of h = 31.9 m(pic 1)
The gravitational potential energy difference would be ΔU = 62.588J - 43.164J = 19,424J (pic2 + 3)
The work done by air resistance must be equal to the energy difference(pic4)
The magnitude of the air resistance: F = 0.883N
