A small block is made to slide, starting from rest, along two equally rough circular surfaces from A to B through path 1 and 2. The two paths have equal radii. The speed of the block at the end of the slide was found to be `V_1` and `V_2` for path 1 and 2 respectively. Which one is larger `V_1` or `V_2`?

A

Block on track 1 reaches the finish line first

B

Block on track 2 reaches the finish line first

C

Both blocks reach the finish line at the same time

D

It depends on the length of the dip in the second track, relative to the total length of the tracks

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Average velocity of block (2) is more than (1) in horizontal direction.
