Kinetic energy of rock as it reaches the bottom of hill


During a rockslide, a 660 kg rock slides from rest down a hillside that is 720 m along the slope and 250 m high. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rock and the hill surface is 0.15. (a) If the gravitational potential energy U of the rock-Earth system is zero at the bottom of the hill, what is the value of U just before the slide? (b) How much energy is transferred to thermal energy during the slide? (c) What is the kinetic energy of the rock as it reaches the bottom of the hill? (d) What is its speed then?
