Question: Starting from the very top, a box slides down a ramp and friction does 4 2 J of work. At the bottom of the ramp,

Starting from the very top, a box slides down a ramp and friction does 42 J of work. At the bottom of the ramp, the box has 232 J of kinetic energy and is traveling at 3.1 m/sec. How high is the ramp? (Hint: Find the mass of the box using the kinetic energy and speed at the bottom, then once you know the mass, figure out how much potential energy the box had at the top of the ramp, and from there you should be able to find the height.)
