Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
ME initial = ME final
PE initial + KE initial = PE final + KE final
There's no kinetic energy the moment Jorge is at the top of the ramp therefore KE initial = 0
PE initial = PE final + KE final
Assuming the bottom of the ramp is h = 0 we can then say PE final = 0
PE initial = KE final
Write the equations out.
mgh = (.5)mv^2
They tell us potential energy is 6000J therefore that portion of the equation is already "solved"
6000 = (.5)mv^2
Plugin the values
6000 = (.5) 70 v^2
Solve for v
6000 = 35v^2
171.43 = v^2
13.1 = v at the bottom of the slope
Solving for KE we get
(.5) m v^2
Plugin the value from the previous problem and solvee!
