An 8.0-kg block is released from rest, with v1 = 0.00 m/s, on a rough incline, as shown in the figure.

The block moves a distance of 1.6-m down the incline, in a time interval of 0.80 s, and acquires a velocity of v2 = 4.0 m/s. How much work does gravity do on the block during this process?

A) +81 J
B) +100 J
C) +120 J
D) -81 J
E) -100 J

Question 2
