A block is released from rest at the top of a 29-m long frictionless ramp inclined at 75 above the horizontal. What is the block's speed at the bottom of the ramp?
Added by Beatriz H.
Step 1
Given that the ramp is inclined at 75 degrees above the horizontal and is 29 meters long, we can use trigonometry to find the height of the ramp. Height = 29m * sin(75°) Show more…

A block of mass 3.5 kg slides down a frictionless inclined plane of length 6.4 $\mathrm{m}$ that makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. If the block is released from rest at the top of the incline, what is its speed at the bottom? (A) 5.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ (B) 6.4 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ (C) 8.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ (D) 10 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

A block slides down a frictionless inclined ramp. If the ramp angle is 17.0° and the length of it is 30.0 m, find the speed of the block as it reaches the end of the ramp, assuming it started sliding from rest at the top.
