3. A hockey puck of mass 0.25 kg starts from rest and slides down the frictionless ramp shown in Figure. The bottom end of the ramp is horizontal. After it leaves the ramp, the puck travels as a projectile and lands a distance L from the ramp. (Ignoring air resistance) 8.0 m 3.0 m -L- Figure 2 (a) Is the puck's mechanical energy at the top of the ramp equal to its mechanical energy when it leaves the ramp and is in the air? Explain why or why not. (b) What is the speed of the puck the instant it leaves the ramp? (c) How far from the end of the ramp does the puck land (L)?
