    Please explain steps for part d. I cannot figure it out A box, with a weight of mg = 25 N, is placed at the top of a ramp and released from rest. The ramp measures 4.20 meters horizontally and 3.30 meters vertically. The box accelerates down the incline, attaining a kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp of 48.0 J. There is a force of kinetic friction acting on the box as it slides down the incline. a)...
