The particle becomes a projectile under the influence of gravity (and nothing else) at the instant it passes point B. You will need to determine the horizontal and vertical components of the particle's velocity at B. Thereafter it's a projectile question, albeit you can use conservation of energy to help you in part (b).

I did but somehow the answer is different from the marking scheme

I probably got 4.2 or something

You don't know what you got... ? And for which part of the question ?? Be clear if you're asking for help.

for part b I got 4.2 for the speed

And your reasoning for that is ... ?

the law of conservation of energy what else....

Well clearly you applied it incorrectly. So if you explain exactly how you got it then we'd be happy to help. We're not going to do this question and serve the answer on a plate for you if that's what you're expecting.

I just used the ke + mgh at highest point = ke at lowest point , correct me if I'm wrong??

Sounds good to me. Obviously this is is also the KE at the start of the ramp which implies u and w are the same since they're on the same level and energy has been conserved throughout the entire motion up the ramp and projected off it.

so is u=w??
