4 The top of an inclined plane is at a height of 0.7 m above the bottom. A block of mass 0.2 kg is released from rest at the top of the plane and slides a distance of 2.5 m to the bottom. Find the kinetic energy of the block when it reaches the bottom of the plane in each of the following cases:
  1. the plane is smooth,
  2. the coefficient of friction between the plane and the block is 0.15 .
