Question: A block and a ball (having the same mass ?) move with the same linear velocity across identical horizontal floors and then up identical ramps.

A block and a ball (having the same mass ?) move with the same linear velocity across identical horizontal floors and then up identical ramps. The block slides without friction, and the ball rolls without slipping up an inclined plane. Which of them makes it furthest up the ramp (i.e. the block, the ball, or they both reach the same height)?
