Question

Consider a wooden ramp angled 38.6 degrees above horizontal. If a 15.5-kg wooden block is given a strong shove up the ramp so that it has an initial velocity of 3.73 m/s, how long (in seconds) will it take the block to reach its maximum height (before it starts sliding down)? The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is 0.369.
