Last time now, with d = 3.98 m. You start the block on the track at rest, somewhere to the left of x = 0. You then release the block from rest and let it slide down. What is the maximum value of x (that is, what is the closest to the origin) from which you can release the block from rest and have it leave the track at x = 0 and go into freefall?

Question

Hi, this is a set of 5 questions, I've answered 4 as shown in the photos please help solve the fifth question in the second slide. 

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 2.50 m, and x and y are
measured in meters as usual. Suppose the block starts
Same type of track as in the previous problem, this time
with d = 3.95 m. The block starts at x = 0, and is given a
push to the left with an initial speed of 5.11 m/s, so it
starts sliding up the track to the left. At what value of x
will the block reverse direction and start sliding back
down?

s speed be when it reaches x = 0?

OK, same sort of track, but now with d = 3.05 m. Now
suppose the blocks starts on the track at x = 3.50 m. The
block is given a push to the left and begins to slide up the
track, eventually reaching its maximum height at x = 0, at
which point it turns around and begins sliding down.
What was its initial speed in this case?

Here we go again this time, d= 2.98 m. Suppose the
block starts on the track at x = 0. What minimum initial
velocity (moving to the right) must the block have such
that it will leave the track at x = 0 and go into freefall?
