 Learning Goal: To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 6.1 Work and Kinetic Energy.

Learning Goal: To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 6.1 Work and Kinetic Energy. Your cat Goldie (mass 7.60 kg ) is trying to make it to the top of a frictionless ramp 9.480 m long and inclined 31.0 above the horizontal. Since Goldie can't get any traction on the ramp, you push her up the entire length of the ramp by exerting a constant 37.10 N force parallel to the ramp (there is a set of stairs alongside the frictionless ramp on which you can walk). If Goldie is moving at 1.800 m/s at the bottom of the ramp (assume she has gotten a running start), what is her speed when she reaches the top of the incline? Now, draw the most convenient coordinate system for this problem. The orientation of the vectors will be graded. The location and length of the vectors will not be graded. No elements selected
