Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 43RCQ
A ball is released at the left end of three different tracks. The tracks are bent from equal-length of channel iron.
- From fastest to slowest, rank the sppend of the balls at the right ends of the track.
- From the longest to the shortest, rank the track in terms of the times for the balls to reach the end.
- From the greatest to the least, rank the tracks in terms of the average speeds of the balls, or do all the balls have same average speed on all three tracks.

Question 8 is not right since I added four. And the other ones, I need help with too
In the figure provided, three balls of equal masses are released from the ground. If they are released with equal speeds, which ball has the largest speed when it hits the dotted line?
They all have the same speed. Ball a has the largest speed. Ball b has the largest speed. Ball c has the largest speed.
A block of ice moves along a very wide frictionless ice sheet at a constant speed of 3 meters per second. What is its speed after 60 s?
180 meters per second squared
