CSEC Integrated Science · May/June 2016 · Paper 2 · Question 4(b)(iii)

Carson tested friction by applying a 10 N force to a toy car on a smooth surface and on a rough surface, measuring distance travelled (Table 3).

Calculate the energy conversion of the car on the smooth surface and on the rough surface.
