A block is launched up a frictionless (Thea)=20.4° incline. The block travels 2.78 meters up (along, parallel to) the incline before coming to a stop and beginning to slide back down. Find the velocity of the block when it is 0.63 meters up the incline. Use g=9.81 m/s (There is no diagram provided. Answer is 3.83 but I keep getting 4.79)
