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 d = 4.99m. 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

9. 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 d = 4.99m. 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?
