To rise to the top of the ramp, the initial kinetic energy must be at least
M*g*5.9 sin29, the potential energy there.
(1/2)M Vo^2 = M*g*(5.9 sin29)
M cancels out.
Vo = sqrt(2*g*5.9sin29) = 7.5 m/s
What minimum speed does a 100 g puck need to make it to the top of a 5.9 m-long, 29 degree frictionless ramp?
