There is a 10 kg block on a ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is 0.1 and the angle of the ramp is 30 degrees from the horizontal. The block is pushed up the ramp until it attains a velocity of 2 m/s (up the ramp) and then it is released. a. How far up the ramp (the distance along the ramp's surface) will the block travel from the point that at which it was released? b. Now you are asked to improve this outcome. What value of coefficient of kinetic friction for this system would allow the block to go twice as far up the ramp?
