Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy — practice question

A constant force $F$, acting on a car of mass $m$, moves the car up the incline through a distance $s$ at constant velocity $v$. The angle between the incline and the horizontal is $\alpha$. Which expression represents the efficiency of this process?

  • A$\dfrac{mg s \sin \alpha}{F v}$
  • B$\dfrac{m v}{F s}$
  • C$\dfrac{m v^2}{2 F s}$
  • D$\dfrac{mg s \sin \alpha}{F}$
