PLEASE ANSWER PART 4

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 4.16 m, and x and y are measured in meters as usual. Suppose the block starts from rest on the track, at x = -2.7 m. What will the blocks speed be when it reaches x = 0?

   

5.86 m/s

Part 2 Same type of track as in the previous problem, this time with d = 3.07 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?

   

1.09 m

part 3 OK, same sort of track, but now with d = 4.35 m. Now suppose the blocks starts on the track at x = 2.66 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?

   

5.65                /s

PART 4Here we go again this time, d = 2.19 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?

   

4.63 m/s

   

8.94 m/s

   

5.43 m/s

   

6.55       /s

PART 5 Last time now, with d = 3.73 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?

   

-2.55 m

   

-2.32 m

   

-1.87 m

   

-1.32 m
