I’m not sure with the question
Do you remember the formula for potential energy ?
PE = (mass) (gravity) (height)
If the mass and the height are always the same, then the least PE comes from the least gravity. Surely you can find THAT in the table.
Ah for this problem you are thinking quite a bit hard on. The problem is actually simpler than it looks. The problem states that a bike travels at a constant speed of 3.1 m/s for 6 s and asks how far will it go?. To figure this out you simply need to take 3.1 times 6 s because every second the bike travels 3.1 m. So the answer to this problem would be 18.6 m
Explanation:
Given that,
The slope of the ramp, 
Mass of the box, m = 60 kg
(a) Distance covered by the truck up the slope, d = 300 m
Initially the truck moves with a constant velocity. We know that the net work done on the box is equal to 0 as per work energy theorem as :
u and v are the initial and the final velocity of the truck
(b) The work done on the box by the force of gravity is given by :
Here, 
W = -24550.13 J
(c) What is the work done on the box by the normal force is equal to 0 as the angle between the force and the displacement is 90 degrees.
(d) The work done by friction is given by :
Hence, this is the required solution.
<u>Inertia affects the motion of an object as follows:</u>
When an object is in motion, it will continue to be in the same state unless otherwise some outside force is being applied to it. Thus, inertia affects the motion of an object. It restricts some other force being acted upon the object.
But mass of an object is directly proportional to inertia. So when the inertia is more on an object, it means that the object has more mass. For example, if there are two similar bricks, one that is made up of mortar and the other one is made of Styrofoam.
To identify which brick is made of Styrofoam without lifting the bricks, push both the bricks with equal force, the one that has less resistance tends to move faster. This means that it has less inertia and hence less mass.
