Answer:
Energy Lost for group A's car = 0.687 J
Energy Lost for group B's car = 0.55 J
Explanation:
The exact question is as follows :
Given - The energy of an object can be converted to heat due to the friction of the car on the hill. The difference between the potential energy of the car and its kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill equals the energy lost due to friction.
To find - How much energy is lost due to heat for group A's car ?
How much for Group B's car ?
Solution -
We know that,
GPE = 1 Joule (Potential Energy)
Now,
For Group A -
Energy Lost = GPE - KE
= 1 J - 0.313 J
= 0.687 J
So,
Energy Lost for group A's car = 0.687 J
Now,
For Group B -
Energy Lost = GPE - KE
= 1 J - 0.45 J
= 0.55 J
So,
Energy Lost for group B's car = 0.55 J
Explanation:
The weight of the car is equal to,
...........(1)
Where
m is the mass of car
g is the acceleration due to gravity
The normal or vertical component of the force is, 
or
.............(2)
The horizontal component of the force is, 
Taking ratio of equation (1) and (2) as :



or

Hence, this is the required solution.
