-50 kJ.

Explanation:

W = 0.147 * 10

= 1.47 kJ

ΔU = - 5 * 10

= - 50 kJ

Potential energy, P = m*g*h

= 50*9.7 * (-50)

= - 4850 J

= - 4.85 kJ

Kinetic energy, K = 1/2 * m * (vf^2 - vi^2)

= 1/2 * 10 * (30^2 - 15^2)

= 3375 J

= 3.375 kJ

ΔE = Ein - Eout

Q - W = ΔK + ΔP + ΔU

Q = 1.47 + 3.375 - 4.85 - 50

= - 50.005 kJ

= - 50 kJ.
