Question

A trolley runs from point P to Q along a track, as shown in the figure. At point Q, its potential energy is 50 kJ less than at point P. At point P, the trolley has kinetic energy 5 kJ. Between P and Q, the work done against friction is 10 kJ. What is the kinetic energy at point Q?

Solution

The correct option is B 45 kJ

Let gravitational PE at Q be 0.

Use conservation of energy:

(GPE + KE) at Q + Work done against friction = (GPE + KE) at P

0 + KE at Q + 10k = 50k + 5k

So, KE at Q = 45 kJ
