The distance is
Explanation:
Resolving in the direction up and parallel to the plane as positive
The coefficient of kinetic friction is
Then the net force on the object is
According to Newton's Second Law
Where
So
The coefficient of kinetic friction is
The acceleration due to gravity is
The incline of the ramp is
The negative sign indicates a deceleration
We apply the equation of motion
