Final Velocity of a Block on a Fixed Wedge Calculator
When a block slides down a frictionless, fixed wedge, the gravitational potential energy lost from a vertical height \( h \) is completely converted into kinetic energy. This gives:
\[
v = \sqrt{2gh}
\]
* Enter the vertical drop (h in m) and gravitational acceleration (g in m/s²) in SI units.
Step 1: Enter Parameters
Example: 5 m
Example: 9.81 m/s²
