If I scored 'd' in my AS levels, and I did pretty well in paper 4 and 5 (75/100 and 27/30), then what is the maximum grade that I can score? Can I get an A?
Check the Grade thresholds of previous years. They have listed marks for every paper and grade.
You can calculate your marks in AS and then estimate the marks you need/got in Paper 4 and 5. Add them and you can get an idea of your grade.

KE Trolley(1/2 * m * v^2) + KE Mass = Loss in GPE (mgh)
1/2 x 1.5 x v^2 + 1/2 x 0.5 x v^2 = 0.5 x 9.81 x 1.0
v^2 = 4.905

KE Trolley = 1/2 x m x v^2 = 1/2 x 1.5 x 4.905 = 3.7 J

Note: Velocity of both objects is same.
