A 200-g hockey puck is launched up a ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle above the horizontal

The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the puck and the ramp are µs = 0.40 and µk = 0.30, respectively, and the puck's initial velocity at the base is 3.8 m/s parallel to the sloping surface of the ramp. What speed does the puck have when it slides back down to its starting point?


2.1 m/s
