Answering physics questions for Study.com often involves understanding and using LaTeX to format equations. LaTeX follows simple guidelines, and makes it easy to create beautifully formatted solutions.

For example, we can display an exponent by typing 3x^2. With LaTeX formatting, we can type it as 3x^{2}. The LaTeX formatting will specially display 2 as an exponent, and the caret won’t appear in the output.

Please rewrite the following expression using LaTeX formatting:

5 (square root 3x) + 2x^2 – (3x/2)

Here are a few common LaTeX formatting symbols:
Square root of x: \sqrt{x}
Fraction x over y: \frac{x}{y}

A toy car with a mass of 1 kg starts from rest at the top of a ramp at point A. The toy car is released from rest, rolls 2.0 meters down the ramp, then another 3.0 meters across the floor to point B where its speed is measured to be 4.24 m/s. The air exerts a resistance force of 2.0 N on the car as it moves from A to B. Find the initial height of the car at point A. Assume g = 10 m/s^2.

Note: The user has mastered the concept of the conservation of energy and is proficient in solving problems where energy is conserved but is new to solving energy problems involving work done by non-conservative forces. Explain how work is related to the total mechanical energy of a system, then use this information to set up and solve the problem above.

Input your final answer here.*

Provide your step-by-step explanation and calculations here.

If you prefer, you may attach a file containing your explanation and calculations.

Please explain how to perform any task of your choosing in 5 steps (ex. How to make a sandwich).
