Answer:
20J
Explanation:
The computation of the change in kinetic energy is shown below:
As we know that
Work was done on system = change in potential energy + change in kinetic energy + change in thermal energy
-430J = -510J + change in kinetic energy + 100J
-430J = -410J + change in kinetic energy
So, the change in kinetic energy is 20J
We simply applied the above formula to find out the change in kinetic energy
