***IMAGE IS ATTACHED***

 

A bead slides without friction on a curved wire as shown in the figure above. If the height of point A relative to B is 0.45 m, then what is the speed of the bead when it reaches point B? Assume that the bead is at rest at point A.
 2.1 m/s
 3 m/s
 9 m/s
 1.5 m/s
 None of the above.

  Tries 0/2  

How do the speeds at points B, D, F, and H compare?
 vB = vD = vF = vH
 vB = vF > vD = vH
 vB > vD > vF = vH
 None of the above.

  Tries 0/2  

How do the speeds at points C, E, and G compare?
 vC = vE > vG
 vC = vE = vG
 vC > vE > vG
 None of the above.

 
The image depicts a roller coaster-style track with a series of ups and downs labeled at various points: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. The track begins at point A, at the top of a hill, where a small block is situated. The height from point A to a baseline below is marked with an arrow labeled "height."

- **Point A**: The starting point at the highest elevation with a block indicating potential energy due to height.
- **Point B**: The track descends from A to a lower point, indicating an increase in speed as potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
- **Point C**: As the track bottoms out, it likely represents the point of maximum speed.
- **Point D**: The track rises back up to a hill, showing that some kinetic energy is converted back to potential energy.
- **Point E**: Another peak that is lower in comparison to point A.
- **Point F**: The track again dips downward.
- **Point G**: Represents a lower valley similar to Point C, likely where speed increases again.
- **Point H**: The track ascends slightly and levels out.

The diagram illustrates the principles of energy conservation and transformation, showing how potential energy and kinetic energy are exchanged as the block moves along the track.
