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 2.29 m, and x and y are measured in meters as usual. Suppose the block starts from rest on the track, at x = -1.71 m. What will the block s speed be when it reaches x = 0? a. 5.01 m/s b. 3.54 m/s c. 1.06 m/s d. 8.02 m/s Same type of track as in the previous problem, this time with d = 3.60 m. The block starts at x = 0, and is given a push to the left with an initial speed of 2.23 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?
