One game at the amusement park has you push a puck up a long, frictionless ramp. you win a stuffed animal if the puck, at its highest point, comes to within 10 cm of the end of the ramp without going off. you give the puck a push, releasing it with a speed of 5.0 m/s when it is 8.50 m from the end of the ramp. the puck's speed after traveling 3.0 m is 4.0 m/s.

Explanation:

Given

initial speed(u)=5 m/s

Final speed(v)=4 m/s

Distance traveled=3 m

using equation of motion

after this its final velocity will be zero

s=5.33 m

Total distance=3+5.33=8.33 m

Thus he will not be able to win the game

at positions a, g kinetic energy is maximum.

at position d, potential energy is maximum.

1= 26.17

2= 1.17

3=30.86

4=5.86
