The sphere will go up until all the initial kinetic energy be transformed into potential energy.
Intital kinetic energy = m*(vi)^2 / 2
Final potential energy = mgh
mgh = m(vi)^2 / 2 => h = (vi)^2 / (2g)
g = 9.81 m/s^2
vi = (1.5m/s)^2
h = (1.5m/s)^2 / (2*9.81m/s)^2 = 0.115 m
The range is the distance run over the ramp
Using trigonometry, sin(20°) = h /run => run = h / sin(20) = 0.115m / sin(20) = 0.336 m
Answer: 0.336 m
