- Homework Statement
- A ball is rolled off the top of a ramp, onto the ground. Derive the following formula for kinetic energy by any means possible:
- Relevant Equations
- Ek=gmR^2/4h
I have no idea how to do this. I've tried conservation of mechanical energy and it didn't work.
Ek = Kinetic Energy
R = horizontal range of the ball
h = height from which the ball is released
Ek = Kinetic Energy
R = horizontal range of the ball
h = height from which the ball is released
