$$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{S}=\mathrm{ut}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{at}^2 \\ & \mathrm{~h}=0+\frac{1}{2} \cdot \mathrm{g}(8)^2=\frac{10}{2} \times 8 \times 8=320 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}

Distance covered in last second

\begin{aligned} & h_1=u+\frac{a}{2}(2 n-1) \\ & =0+\frac{10}{2}[2(8)-1] \\ & h_i=5[15]=75 \mathrm{~m} \\ & \Delta U_{\text {loss }}=m g \Delta h \\ & \Delta U_{\text {loss }}=0.4 \times 10 \times 75=300 \mathrm{~J} \\ & \text { Ans } \rightarrow 300 \mathrm{~J} \end{aligned}
