Problem 60P

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 8.5 m from the end of the ramp. The puck’s speed after traveling 3.0 m is 4.0 m/s. Are you a winner?

Problem 60P

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 8.5 m from the end of the ramp. The puck’s speed after traveling 3.0 m is 4.0 m/s. Are you a winner?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

In this problem, we need to find the acceleration of two velocities given and two speeds at the start of puck’s trip up the side. And we need to find out if you are the winner of the game.
