Accel; eration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2. Initial velocity = 0 (given). Time=4. Applying kinematic equation v=u+at, v = 0 + 9.8x4 = 39.2. Therefore speed of the ball after t=4 is 39.2

AbhiGhost your answer would be right if we were talking about free fall. The force that is providing the acceleration is Fx=mgsinФ, where Ф is the angle the ramp makes with the horizontal.

Fx=ma=mgsinФ

Hence:

a=gsinФ.

And the speed is v=a*t=gsinФ*t.
