Sorry I accidentally submitted the thread:mad:

i just wanted to ask if someone could help me on a question on the work energy principle. It is question 2(v)

i understand most of it but don't understand how they have got 105/20 to be the height for the GPE term and also why is it a minus . Could you please help me on when to know if something it taken away or added.

Thanks a lot, any help will be repped:smile:

Loss of K.E=Work done against friction Plus work done against gravity
Gain in height is 105 x sine of angle of inclination i.e. 105 x 1/20
