Energy conservation — practice question

A ball moves down a curved track, as illustrated. Point X is $0.40\,\text{m}$ higher than point Y. At point X, the ball’s speed is $2.5\,\text{m s}^{-1}$. Frictional forces may be ignored. What is the speed of the ball at point Y?

  • A$2.8\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • B$3.2\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • C$3.8\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • D$14\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
