8) Would gravity do more work on a brick sliding down a frictionless ramp if the brick started from rest, or if it started with an initial velocity down the slope?
a) Gravity does more work if it started from rest.
b) Gravity does more work if it started with an initial velocity down the slope.
c) Gravity does the same amount of work in both cases.
