A 1-kg object is released from rest at the top of a rough-surfaced incline. The object slides without rotating to the bottom of the incline. The object’s kinetic energy at the bottom must be...
equal to the block’s gravitational potential energy when it was released, because total mechanical energy must be conserved.
equal to the block’s gravitational potential energy when it was released, because the gain in kinetic energy compensates for the mechanical energy lost to thermal energy on the rough incline.
less than the block’s gravitational potential energy when it was released, because the gravitational potential energy was converted both to thermal energy and to kinetic energy.
less than the block’s gravitational potential energy when it was released, because the work done by the friction force must be greater than the block’s gain in kinetic energy.

A 10-kg wagon moves horizontally at an initial speed of 5 m/s. A 30-N force is applied to the wagon by pulling the rigid handle, which is angled 60° above the horizontal. The wagon continues to move horizontally for another 20 m. A negligible amount of work is converted into thermal energy. By how much has the wagon’s kinetic energy increased over the 20 m?
300 J
600 J
125 J
63 J
