Answer:
v = 31.3 m / s
Explanation:
The law of the conservation of stable energy that if there are no frictional forces mechanical energy is conserved throughout the point.
Let's look for mechanical energy at two points, the highest where the body is at rest and the lowest where at the bottom of the plane
Highest point
Em₀ = U = m g y
Lowest point
= K = ½ m v²
As there is no friction, mechanical energy is conserved
Em₀ =
m g y = ½ m v²
v = √ 2 g y
Where we can use trigonometry to find and
sin 30 = y / L
y = L sin 30
Let's replace
v = RA (2 g L sin 30)
Let's calculate
v = RA (2 9.8 100.0 sin30)
v = 31.3 m / s
