**Question 10**

A 1 kg skate rat drops from the top of a 3 m high half-pipe ramp. Ignoring friction, how much Kinetic Energy would s/he have at the lowest point of the ramp?

- ○ 100 Joules
- ○ 300 Joules
- ○ 3 Joules
- ○ 30 Joules

---

**Question 11**

Ignoring friction, what would be the velocity of the skate rat in the question above at the lowest point of the ramp?

- ○ √60 m/s
- ○ √6000 m/s
- ○ √3 m/s
- ○ √30 m/s

---

**Question 12**

In the real world, the skate rat above would lose some speed/energy due to friction. If it loses 10 Joules of energy while moving from one side of the ramp (where s/he dropped in) to the other side of the half-pipe, how far (in meters) would the skate rat make it up the other side?
