OK, same sort of track, but now with d = 4.63 m. Now suppose the blocks starts on the track at x = 4.73 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? 13.30 m/s 14.13 m/s 9.74 m/s 6.89 m/s

Same type of track as in the previous problem, this time with d = 2.73 m. The block starts at x = 0, and is given a push to the left with an initial speed of 4.46 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? y = (x^2) /d for x<0 and by y = -(x^2)/d for x>0 1.66 m 1.01 m -1.01 m -1.66 m
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.  D = 2.37 m. The block starts at x = 0, and is given a push to the left with an initial speed of 2.76 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? 0.39 m -0.39 m -0.96 m 0.96 m
A theme park is planning out a new free-fall ride. The drop is almost perfectly frictionless, with a distance of 190 meters. Assuming that the initial velocity was zero, what would be the speed at the bottom of the drop? 1 53 m/s 2 61 m/s 3 67 m/s 4 72 m/s
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 = 2.67m, and x and y are measured in meters as usual. 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? 7.24 m/s 5.12 m/s 9.89 m/s 9.01 m/s
