Question
At a post office, a package of mass 1.3 kg is pushed down a slanted chute with an initial speed of 1.8 m/s. The upper end of the chute if 4.0 m above the floor. When it reaches the floor, the package has a speed of 0.9 m/s. Determine the energy lost through air resistance and friction with the chute.
