**Physics Problem: Kinetic and Potential Energy of a Sliding Block****Problem Statement:**A block of mass 5.0 kg starts with an initial speed of 3 m/s at point A and slides without friction from a height of 5.00 m along a curved slide (see figure).(a) Determine the total amount of energy at point B.(b) Find the speed of the block at point C on the slide.(c) Find the speed of the block when it impacts the ground.**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram illustrates a curved slide with three important points marked: A, B, and C. These points correspond to different elevations on the slide. The heights at each point are indicated as follows:- Point A: 5.00 m above the ground- Point B: 3.20 m above the ground- Point C: 2.00 m above the groundArrows pointing downward from each point indicate the height from which measurements are taken. The slide is depicted with a swooping wavy line, representing a frictionless path for the block as it moves downwards due to gravity.**Solution Strategy:**To solve this problem, we will use the principles of conservation of energy. Since there is no friction, mechanical energy (potential energy + kinetic energy) will be conserved throughout the block’s motion. We will:1. Calculate the total energy at point B using initial conditions.2. Use energy conservation to determine the speed of the block at point C.3. Find the speed when the block reaches the ground, where potential energy is zero.
