3.1 Energy stores and calculations

Question 2

An automated delivery capsule of mass $m\,$ is released from rest and slides down a curved, rough chute from a release hatch $X\,$ to a collection bin $Y$ . The vertical distance between $X\,$ and $Y\,$ is $h\,$ and the speed of the capsule as it reaches $Y\,$ is $v$ .

State how the total mechanical energy transferred to the surroundings as thermal energy and sound could be calculated in terms of $m$ , $g$ , $h$ , and $v$ .
