Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 93TDI
Two balls, A and B, are released simultaneously from rest at the left end of the equal-length tracks, as shown.
(a) Which ball will reach the end of its track first?
(b) Does ball B roll faster along the lower part of track B than ball A rolls along track A?
(c) Is the speed gained by ball B going down the extra dip the same as the speed it loses going up near the right-hand end? Does this mean that the speeds of balls A and B will be the same at the ends of the tracks?
(d) So, overall, does ball A or ball B have the greater average speed? (Do you wish to change your answer to (a)?

I already asked this question and got an answer, but I don't understand in the solution the steps to get to the answer. So, here goes the question again.
While walking along a solid ground your speed is v. If your speed becomes v/2 relative to the ground while walking forward over a movable platform, the platform moves with speed ____________ and direction __________. Give speed (in terms of v) and direction (forward or backward) in the blanks.
I set up my inclined track apparatus at an angle of 15 degrees on a lab bench as shown in the figure above. I then release a billiard ball from rest and let it roll down the track. The distance the ball rolls down the track is 1.0 m and the vertical distance it falls to the floor after leaving the track is 1.2 m. What is the total horizontal distance the ball travels from the point where I release the ball to the point where it hits the floor?
Juliet has been captured by Thugs and is being held in a castle surrounded by a 75.0
m wide moat filled with alligators. She is in a room with a balcony(of course!) that is
8.0 m above the ground. On a moonlit night, Romeo throws a love note tied to a rock
across and up to her. The rock has a velocity of 27.0 m/s at an angle of 38.0 degrees
above the horizontal.
