Problem

A 4.0 kg4.0\,\text{kg} block starts from rest at the top of a frictionless ramp that is 3.0 m3.0\,\text{m} high. It reaches the bottom after 1.5 s1.5\,\text{s}. What is the average power supplied by gravity during the descent? (a) 3.0×102 W3.0\times10^{2}\,\text{W} (b) 7.8×101 W7.8\times10^{1}\,\text{W} (c) 1.2×102 W1.2\times10^{2}\,\text{W} (d) 3.9×101 W3.9\times10^{1}\,\text{W}
