(a) Calculate the gravitational potential energy store of the box wtren it reaches the highest point
of the slope.

gravitational potential energy slore = 121

(b) Calculate the energy required to move lhe box up at constant speed if the frictional force
between the box and slope is 12 N.

energy required = l2l

(c) The string was released when the box reached the highest point of the slope. The box moves
down the slope with the same amount of friction of 12 N.

Calculate the speed of the box when it reaches the starting position.

speed of box = I2l

(d) A motor, with an efficiency of 850/0, is used to pull the box up the slope.

Calculate the energy required by the motor to pull the box up to the highest point.

energy required by motor = t2t
