Equations of motion — practice question

A block starts from rest and moves a distance $x$ along a straight slope. The slope makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The slope is frictionless and air resistance is negligible. The acceleration of free fall is $g$. Which expression gives the block's final speed?

  • A$\sqrt{\frac{g x \sin \theta}{2}}$
  • B$\sqrt{2 g x \sin \theta}$
  • C$\sqrt{2 g x}$
  • D$2 g x \sin \theta$
