No friction so any work done on it = change in PE + change in KE
Assume both PE and KE are zero at start.
How far up did it go?
h = .5 sin 30 = .25 meters up
How much potential energy did it gain?
PE = m g h = 3.0 * 9.8 * .25 = 7.35 Joules
How much work was done on it
Force in direction of motion = 22 cos 30 = 19.1 N
work done = 19.1 * .5 = 9.53 joules
so
9.53 = KE + 7.35
so
(1/2) m v^2 = 2.18 Joules
I think you can get v from there
