Energy lost due to friction is work done against friction = friction x distance moved along the slope.
For energy type of problems, general approach:
1. Identify the types of energy changes and/or work done (by a force or against friction)
2. Apply the Law of Conservation of Energy
In the question,
1. k.e. decreases, this transforms into gain in g.p.e. and some lost due to work done against friction f.
2. Loss in k.e. = gain in g.p.e + work done against f
1/2 m v ^2. = m g h + f x d
d is distance along slope, h/d = sin 60, so d = h/sin 60

Hi Mr Ang. May I ask why is it that for the question (c), we subtract GPE from KE when in question 2 of AS5.1 (2013's), we add them together? Is it because the question is asking for work done and the other is not? Thanks.

What is "question (c)"?
