Question

In a skate park, you are trying to determine how to get the most speed at the bottom of the ramp. If the ramp is 4.5 m high, and you start at the top of the ramp with an initial velocity of 1.5m/s, how fast will you be rolling at the bottom of the ramp, given there is no friction. Use conservation of energy to solve.

Answer 1

If you have an initial velocity of 1.5m/s and the ramp height is 4.5, and an extreme fart is initiated at the bottom of the ramp exerting an didditional upward force, and the smell of the fart causes you to begin flailing, and everyone running from you causes an additional wind force, then you would be rolling at a speed of 3 m/s given there is no friction. :)
