The thermal energy was produced is 116J
Now we know that the frictional force produces the energy that is lost as heat as the body slides down the incline. The magnitude of the frictional force is obtained from;
Ff= μmgcosθ
Ff = 0.65 * 5.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos 25
Ff = 29 N
Hence, the thermal energy is;
29 N * 4.0 m = 116J
