In the figure a block slides along a path that is without friction until the block reaches the section of length L = 0.77 m, which begins at height h = 1.2 m, on a ramp of angle θ = 30∘. In that section the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.480. The block passes through point A with a speed of 8.4 m/s. If the block can reach point B (where the friction ends), what is its speed there, and if it cannot, what is its greatest height above A?

In the figure a block slides along a path that is without friction until the block reaches the section of length L = 0.77 m , which begins at height h = 1.2 m , on a ramp of angle θ = 30 . In that section the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.480 . The block passes through point A with a speed of 8.4 m / s . If the block can reach point B (where the friction ends), what is its speed there, and if it cannot, what is its greatest height above A ?
