Suppose I need to toss an object of mass 5.2 up onto a shelf 5.94 meters above where my hands can reach. What is the minimum speed of toss necessary to do this? Your answer should be in meters per second, but don't write teh unit, just the number. You can approximate the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface as 10 meters per square second.
