# How does the time t1 of a block m reaching the bottom of slide 1 compare with t2, the time taken block of mass 2m to reach the end of slide 2 thats curved? The blocks are released from the same height.

How does the time *t1* of a block *m* reaching the bottom of slide 1 compare with *t2*, the time taken block of mass 2*m* to reach the end of slide 2 that’s curved? The blocks are released from the same height.

- **A.** *t1* = *t2* because the slides are the same height and frictionless
- **B.** *t1* < *t2* because slide 1 is straight and slide 2 is curved
- **C.** *t1* > *t2* because slide 2 starts out steeper than slide 1
- **D.** The heavier block will have a greater speed than the lighter block, no matter which slide is used
- **E.** It is impossible to say because the acceleration of the block on slide 2 is non-uniform
