3 kg block (block A) is released from rest at the top of a 20 m long frictionless ramp that is 5 m high. At the same time, an identical block (block B) is released next to the ramp so that it drops straight down the same 5 m. Find the values for each of the following for the blocks just before they reach ground level.
(a) gravitational potential energy
Block A
J
Block B
J
(b) kinetic energy
Block A
J
Block B
J
(c) speed
Block A
m/s
Block B
m/s
(d) momentum
Block A
kg·m/s
Block B
kg·m/s
