energy is the ability to do work,power is the rate at which work is done and energy is the measure of transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force
Answer:
Explanation:
height lost h = 300 sin60
= 259.8 m .
gravitational potential energy = mgh
= 5000 x 9.8 x 259.8
= 1273 x 10⁴ J
Kinetic energy
= 1/2 mv²
= .5 x 5000 x 60²
= 900 x 10⁴ J
there is loss of kinetic energy = 373 x 10⁴ J.
This loss in energy is due to kinetic friction that came into action when the sled slipped downwards.
The lost energy is converted into heat energy or thermal energy.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion.
