    Do you have the mass of the car? if yes it is simple then, you can use the equation: V=at + V0 You know that V0 = 3.25m/s and V is equal to zero (it stops at the end) so you only need to find the acceleration a (which must be negative) using Newton's 2nd law: - mgsinα=ma then a=-gsinα (and α=3.73
