A 200-g particle is released from rest at point A along the horizontal diameter on the inside of a frictionless, hemispherical bowl of radius R = 30.0 cm (Fig. P8.52). Calculate (a) The gravitational potential energy of the particle€“Earth system when the particle is at point A relative to point B, (b) The kinetic energy of the particle at point B, (c) Its speed at point B, and (d) Its kinetic energy and the potential energy when the particle is at point C.
