- A small block slides down a frictionless track whose shape is described by y = (x^2) /d for x<0 and by y = -(x^2)/d for x>0. The value of d is 4.16 m, and x and y are measured in meters as usual. Suppose the block starts from rest on the track, at x = -2.7 m. What will the block s speed be when it reaches x = 0? 8.79 m/s 5.86 m/s 4.14 m/s 2.90 m/sarrow_forwardA man on a motorcycle plans to make a jump as shown in the figure.

Assume negligible air resistance.arrow_forwardAs shown in the figure below, a 2.25 kg block is released from rest on a ramp of height h. When the block is released, it slides without friction to the bottom of the ramp, and then continues across a surface that is frictionless except for a rough patch of width 15.0 cm that has a coefficient of kinetic friction ?k = 0.510. Find h (in m) such that the block's speed after crossing the rough patch is 3.60 m/s. (Enter a number.)?marrow_forwardA raindrop of radius 2 mm falls from a height of 500 m above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until at half its original height, it attains its maximum (terminal) speed, and moves with uniform speed thereafter.
