Part a and b. Include sketch please
![In this educational image, a small block of mass \( m = 0.032 \, \text{kg} \) is shown sliding along a frictionless loop-the-loop. The loop has a radius \( R = 12 \, \text{cm} \). Initially, the block is at height \( h = 5.0R \) above the bottom of the loop at point \( P \), with an initial velocity \( v_0 = 5 \, \text{m/s} \).
**Question:**
If the gravitational potential energy of the block-Earth system is zero at the bottom of the loop, what is the velocity of the block when it is:
(a) at point \( Q \), and
(b) at the top of the loop?
**Sketch and Label:**
- The diagram depicts a vertical loop with a block.
- Point \( P \) is at the top left side, where the block starts from height \( h = 5.0R \).
- The loop has a circular section at the bottom with its radius marked as \( R \).
- Point \( Q \) is on the right side of the loop, at the same vertical level as the center of the loop, aligned with the radius \( R \) vertically.
- The block is shown at both points \( P \) and \( Q \).
This setup is for analyzing the conservation of energy involving kinetic and potential energy as the block moves through the loop.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F70932241-1ad7-48fc-b0c5-52d574ff0aa2%2F1017082f-4065-48b8-8eba-481b92be37b3%2Fh1tvckr_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
