    Finding distance traveled up a ramp given m, angle, and velocity

    I figured out that the downward acceleration is zero becausen it is at a constant velocity, which means the net downward force is also zero. I recalculated uk as 0.83 by setting Fg + Ff=0. My problem now is I have no idea how to connect this to any equations I could use to solve for x. I tried...

    Finding distance traveled up a ramp given m, angle, and velocity

    Homework Statement A block with mass m=18.4 kg slides down a ramp of slope angled 43.5 deg with a constant velocity. It is then projected up the plane with a Vo=1.55 m/s. How far does it go before stipping? Homework Equations Fnet=ma Fg + Ff=Fnet Ff=uk(Fn) Fn=mgcos(theta)...
