Two small blocks slide without losing contact with the surface along two frictionless tracks $1$ and $2$,starting at the same time with the same initial speed $v$. Track $1$ is perfectly horizontal,while track $2$ has a dip in the middle,as shown in the figure. Which block reaches the finish line first? [Hint: Use velocity-time graph to solve]

  • A
    Block on track $1$ reaches the finish line first.
  • B
    Block on track $2$ reaches the finish line first.
  • C
    Both blocks reach the finish line at the same time.
  • D
    It depends on the length of the dip in the second track relative to the total length of the tracks.
