A 1.4kg falling object (subject to the effects of aerodynamicdrag) is 1800m high

Question

A 1.4kg falling object (subject to the effects of aerodynamicdrag) is 1800m high, traveling at 34 m/s and has not yet reachedterminal speed. It first reaches terminal speed at a heightof 1340 m and the terminal speed is 37.3 m/s. a) How much thermal (internal) energy is generated through theaction of the drag force as the object falls from 1800m to1340m? b) Repeat a for the fall between 1340m and 500m. All solutions must be based on work and/or energymethods. A 1.4kg falling object (subject to the effects of aerodynamicdrag) is 1800m high, traveling at 34 m/s and has not yet reachedterminal speed.
