Question

A bead slides starting from rest at position A on a frictionless wire bent in the shape shown in the figure. The direction of the gravitational field is in the -y direction (toward the bottom of the page). (Select T-True, F-False, G-Greater than, L-Less than, E-Equal to. If the first is T, the second G, and the rest F, enter TGFFFF).

A) The speed at H is ... the speed at C.

B) The acceleration in the y-direction at B is ... zero.

C) The speed at Dis ... the speed at H.

D) The acceleration at H is zero.

E) The acceleration in the x-direction at B is ... zero.

F) The velocity at H equals the velocity at C.

Explanation / Answer

Part A)
Less than, its higher than C so has less KE

Part B)

Less Than Zero. The acceleration is due to gravity so it is always -9.8 m/s2

The negative means direction which is why its -9.8 m/s2 (If your answer key just wants numbers, its greater than zero)

Part C)

Greater Than, its lower than H so has more KE

Part D)

False - Acceleration is always due to gravity.

Part E)

True, its perfectly horizontal and no acceleration in the x direction

Part F)

False. The speed is greater at C and its in another direction.
