Answer

$v = 6.4m/s$

Work Step by Step

$E_A = E_B$ $K_A + U_A= K_B + U_B$ $K_A = K_A + U_B - U_B$ $\frac{1}{2}mv^2_{_A} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2_{_B} +mgh_B -mgh_A $ $\frac{1}{2}mv^2_{_A} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2_{_B} +mg(h_B -h_A) $ $v^2_{_A} =2 \times \frac{ \frac{1}{2}mv^2_{_B} +mg(h_B -h_A)}{m} $ $v^2_{_A} = v^2_{_B} +2g(h_B -h_A)$ $v^2_{_A} = [8^2 +2\times 9.8(20 -(20\times cos20^{\circ}))]$ $v^2_{_A} = 40.5$ $v = \sqrt {40.5}$ $v = 6.4m/s$
