A block starts from the top of a fixed 10-meter tall friction-less ramp at rest. The ramp makes an angle of 0 with the horizontal The block starts sliding down the ramp when it is released. a) Using Newton's 2nd Law, determine the acceleration of the block. b) Using the acceleration from part a, use the kinematic equations to determine the velocity and speed of the block at the bottom of the ramp. c) Using conservation of energy, determine the final speed of the block at the bottom of the ramp and compare that speed with the result from part b. Assume that the block is launched horizontally (i.e. projectile motion) off of the table that the ramp was sitting on, 3 meters above the ground. d) Using the kinematic equations and the velocity from part b, determine: the horizontal distance where the block will land. ii) the impact velocity and speed of the block. e) Using conservation of energy and the speed from part c, determine the impact speed of the block. Is this speed the same as part d? f) Using conservation of energy and the initial height of the block (10 meters above the table which is 3 meters above the ground), determine the impact speed of the block. Is it the same as part d and e? A block starts from the top of a fixed 10-meter tall friction-less ramp at rest.
