- A 4.25 kilogram mass slides down a 2.50 meter long ramp which is tilted at an angle of 22.0 degrees. Use the net work to determine the speed of the mass when it reaches the bottom of the ramp. Assume that the mass starts from rest at the top of the ramp. I have found the net work to be 39.1 J. I just don't know how to find the velocity they are looking for.arrow_forwardAn outfielder throws a 0.150-kg baseball at a speed of 46.0 m/s and an initial angle of 30.0°. What is the kinetic energy of the ball at the highest point of its motion?arrow_forwardHawkeye draws his compound bow and shoots an arrow. The 23 g arrow leaves the bow with a velocity of 88 m/s. The power stroke of the bow is 57 cm; that is, the bowstring exerts force on the arrow through a displacement of 57 cm. The peak draw weight of the bow is 312 N. (This is the maximum force that the archer has to exert on the bowstring). How much kinetic energy does the arrow have after Hawkeye releases it? How much work does the bowstring do on the arrow? What average force does the bowstring exert on the arrow?arrow_forward
