Chapter 8, Problem 10Q
Figure 8-27 shows three plums that are launched from the same level with the same speed. One moves straight upward, one is launched at a small angle to the vertical, and one is launched along a frictionless incline. Rank the plums according to their speed when they reach the level of the dashed line, greatest first.

- As shown in Figure P7.20, a green bead of mass 25 g slides along a straight wire. The length of the wire from point to point is 0.600 m, and point is 0.200 in higher than point .
