A block of mass M with a semicircualr of radius R, rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. A uniform cylinder of radius r and mass m is released from rest the top point A The cylinder slips on the semicircular frictionless track. How far has the block moved when the cylinder reaches the bottom (point B) of the track ? How fast is the block moving when the cylinder reaches the bottom of the track?

A block of mss m is placed on a level frictionless table. The block is attached to a horizontally aligned spring fixed with its other end and is vibrating in a horizontal with the pariod T . Suddenly at the instant of time when the spring comes to the position of euilibrium and becomes unstretched the block disconnects form the spring and continues sliding across the frictionless surface away from the until it encounters loop of radius R . What must be the amplitude of vibrations of the block s on the spring in order for the block to complets one loop without falling down?

An object of mass m is released from rest at a height h above the surface of a table. The object slides along the inside of the loop.

In the figure, a block slides along a track from one level to a higher level, by inoving through an intermediate valley. The track is frictionless untill the block reaches the higher level. There a frictional force stops the block in a distance d. The block's initial speed v_(0) is 8 m/s, the height difference h is 2 m and the coefficient of kinetic friction mu is 0.3. The value of d is
