Step-by-step explanation:

Q6)

We know that energy can be converted from potential to kinetics or from kinetics to potential, for this case it is converted from potential to Kinetics.

`E_(p)=E_(k)\\m*g*h=E_(k)\\E_(k)=15*9.81*0.8\\ E_(k)= 117.72[J]\\`

Q7)

We know that energy can be converted from potential to kinetics or from kinetics to potential, for this case it is converted from potential to Kinetics.

`E_(p)=E_(k)\\m*g*h=E_(k)\\E_(k)=860*9.81*32\\E_(k)=269971.2[J]`

Q9)

We know that energy can be converted from potential to kinetics or from kinetics to potential, for this case it is converted from potential to Kinetics.

`E_(p)=E_(k)\\m*g*h = E_(k)\\E_(k)= m*g*h\\E_(k)= 1000*9.81*18\\E_(k)= 176580[J]`

Q10)

We know that energy can be converted from potential to kinetics or from kinetics to potential, for this case it is converted from potential to Kinetics.

`E_(p)=E_(k)\\m*g*h=E_(k)\\E_(k)= 0.2*9.81*6\\E_(k)=11.77[J]`
