Question:

A block slides along the frictionless track shown in Figure P3.54 with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. Assume it turns all the corners smoothly, with no loss of speed.

45 1.0 m FIGURE P3.54 1.0 m 30%

a. What is the block's speed as it goes over the top? 

b. What is its speed when it reaches the level track on the right side? 

c. By what percentage does the block's final speed differ from its initial speed? Is this surprising?
