Answer:
Work done, W = 6153.31 Joules
Explanation:
It is given that,
Weight of piano, W = F = 7382 N
It is pushed 2.16 meters friction less plank
The angle with horizontal, 
When the piano slide up plank at a slow constant rate. The y component of force is taken into consideration. The net force acting on it is given by :

Work done is given by :



W = 6153.31 Joules
So, the work done in sliding the piano up the plank is 6153.31 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
7560 Joules
Explanation:
= Mass of first car = 
= Mass of second car = 
= Initial Velocity of first car = 0.3 m/s
= Initial Velocity of second car = -0.12 m/s
v = Velocity of combined mass
As linear momentum of the system is conserved

Energy lost is

The Energy lost in the collision is 7560 Joules
