Answer:

Explanation:

work done by force exerted by canon = force x displacement

= 40 x 1.7 =  68 N

This energy would have been added to the potato .

Increase in potential energy of potato = mgh

= mg sin 35 x 1.7  = 2 x 9.8 x sin 35 x 1.7 = 19.11 J

Increase in kinetic energy = 68 - 19.11

= 48.89 J
