2022 F = ma Exam B — Question 24

A ramp with height h is moving with fixed, uniform speed v to the right. A small block of mass m is placed at the top of the ramp, and is released at rest with respect to the ramp. m h v The block slides smoothly to the bottom of the ramp and onto the floor. How much kinetic energy does it gain in this process? Neglect friction.
