Question: A small block slides down a frictionless track whose shape is described by y = ( x ^ 2 ) / d for

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 2.88 m, and x and y are measured in meters as usual. Suppose the block starts from rest on the track, at x = -1.67 m. What will the block s speed be when it reaches x = 0?

Question 6 options:



4.36 m/s



3.08 m/s



1.23 m/s
