    Do different length ramps violate conservation of energy?

    Yes. I failed to consider that a faster total time does not mean a faster final speed.

    The video cleared things up. Thanks.

    end of the ramp, when h = 0 so only 1/2mv^2 remains.

    Do different length ramps violate conservation of energy?

    mgh=(1/2)(m)(v^2) gh=(1/2)v^2 sqrt(2gh)=v Should have the same v, but this is not the case based on the answer and real-life experiments.
