In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.
1) 0N... friction opposes the motion of an object, since the block is at rest there is no motion thus no friction
2) F=ma
= (5.5kg)(30m/s)
=165 N
