Question: A small block of mass ( m = 1 8 0 mathrm { ~g } ) is released from rest at point

A small block of mass \( m=180\mathrm{~g}\) is released from rest at point \( A \) along the horizontal diameter on the inside of a frictionless, hemispherical bowl of radius \( R=\)28.0 cm as shown in the figure below.
(a) Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the block-Earth system when the block is at point (A) relative to point (B). IJ
(b) Calculate the kinetic energy of the block at point (B).
J
(c) Calculate its speed at point (B).
\[
\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}
\]
(d) Calculate its kinetic energy when the block is at point (C).
\[
\mathrm{J}
\]
(e) Calculate the potential energy when the block is at point (C).
