A large globe, with a radius of about 5m.
Imagine that such a globe has a radius R and a frictionless surface. A small block of mass m slides starts from rest at the very top of the globe and slides along the surface of the globe. The block leaves the surface of the globe when it reaches a height h above the ground.
Use the law of conservation of energy to find Vcrit??
I found Using Newton's 2nd law, that Vcrit the speed of the block at the critical moment when the block leaves the surface of the globe is V=sqrt(g(h-R))
Im trying to do some homeowrk but im stuck on this question can anyone help please.
