I can’t see the picture you mention. Please either attach the image or describe the diagram (masses, heights of points, speeds at any points, and whether there is friction or other work done).

Meanwhile, here is how you find the kinetic energy at point J in most common setups:

- If no non‑conservative forces act (no friction): total mechanical energy is conserved, so
KE_J = E_total − PE_J.
If the object started at rest at height h0: E_total = PE_initial = m g h0, so KE_J = m g (h0 − h_J).

- If it had some initial kinetic energy KE0 at height h0:
KE_J = KE0 + m g (h0 − h_J).

- If there is work done by nonconservative forces W_nc (negative if energy lost):
KE_J = KE0 + m g (h0 − h_J) + W_nc.

Give me the numeric values from the picture (m, h0, h_J, KE0, W_nc or speeds), or upload the image, and I’ll compute which of 10, 4.5, 20.5, or 100 J is correct.
