Consider a 118 kg frictionless ramp and a 74 kg block that is at the top of the ramp, 7 m high. The ramp is not fixed, but can slide frictionlessly across the floor. The block slides down the ramp to the right (the positive direction). Calculate the final velocity of the ramp, in m/s. Assume that no gravitational potential energy is converted to heat.
