Answer:
Mass has total mechanical energy, which is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. as the mass is dropping, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so mechanical energy is preserved If there is no friction. If there is friction, some of the mechanical energy is lost as heat energy so it changes.
Explanation:
To find work, you use the equation: W = Force X Distance X Cos (0 degrees)
Following the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy cannot be destroyed nor created.
So you would do 75 N x 10m x Cos (0 degrees)= 750 J
I don’t know what book you’re talking about so I can’t help but have a look online, you may be able to find it if you search up the book name and look around a few websites
