A sled starts at rest with 51,450 J of potential energy. After traveling part of the way down the slope, the sled has 32,781 J of potential energy. If there is no friction, what is the kinetic energy of the sled?

because of conservation of energy, ep is equal to ek.
at that point ep=ek
the kinetic energy would be 32,781J
