Question
A block slides down a frictionless inclined ramp. If the ramp angle is 17.0° and its length is find the speed of the block as it reaches the bottom of the ramp, assuming it started sliding from rest at the top.

Answer:
Explanation:
Let L (m) be the length of the ramp, and g = 9.81 m/s2 be the gravitational acceleration acting downward. This g vector can be split into 2 components: parallel and perpendicular to the ramp.
The parallel component would have a magnitude of
We can use the following equation of motion to find out the final velocity of the book after sliding L m:
where v m/s is the final velocity,
= 0m/s is the initial velocity when it starts from rest, a = 2.87 m/s2 is the acceleration, and
is the distance traveled:
