Q. In Figure, a block slides along a path that is without friction until the block reaches the
section of length L=0.85 m, which begins at height h=2.0 m on a ramp of angle 0=45°. In

with a speed of 8.0 m/s. If the block can reach point B (where the friction ends), what is
its speed there, and if it cannot, what is its greatest height above A?

For each part of the problem, identify all the forces acting on the block, and draw a free body diagram. b.) Instead of using a Newton’s 2nd Law equation, write out the Work Energy Theorem for each part of the problem (that is the ΔK = W1 + W2 + … equation.) For both parts of the problem, find thework done by each force on the block and place them on the right-hand side of the equation.
