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

 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 4.64 m, and x and y are measured in meters as usual. Suppose the block starts from rest on the track, at x =-2.65 m. What will the block s speed be when it reaches x =0?
