# How does the speed v1 of a block m reaching the bottom of slide 1 compare with v2, the speed of a block 2m reaching the end of slide 2? The blocks are released from the same height.

How does the speed \(v_1\) of a block \(m\) reaching the bottom of slide 1 compare with \(v_2\), the speed of a block \(2m\) reaching the end of slide 2? The blocks are released from the same height.

- **A.** The heavier block will have a greater speed than the lighter block, no matter which slide she uses.
- **B.** \(v_1 > v_2\)
- **C.** \(v_1 < v_2\)
- **D.** \(v_1 = v_2\)
- **E.** No simple relationship exists between \(v_1\) and \(v_2\) because slide \(2\) is curved.
