As discussed in

Net work done by all the forces give the change in kinetic energy -

W=frac{1}{2}mv^{2}-frac{1}{2}mv{_{0}}^{2}

W= k_{f}-k_{i}

- wherein

m=mass : of: the: body

v_{0}= initial: velocity

v= final: velocity

 

 

 Loss in Energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}-mgh

= \frac{1}{2} \times 1\times 400-1\times 18\times 10

= 200-180 = 20J
