A block of mass m is sitting at the top of a curved wedge of mass M and height H. This wedge, in turn, is at rest on a table. All surfaces are frictionless. The block is then given a tiny nudge to the right. With what speed does the block move on the table after it leaves the wedge?

A rectangular block has its upper right corner carved out. The carved out portion is a quarter of a cylinder, yielding a circular slope of radius R. The remaining block has a mass M. A small bead of mass m is placed at the top of the slope. All contact surfaces are frictionless. Both the small bead and the block are initially at rest, and the bead slides down from the top of the circular slope. (a) Find the displacement of the block, i. e the distance and direction of its movement, when the small bead slides to the bottom of the circular slope and is just about to leave the block. (b) Find the speed of the small bead with respect to the ground when it reaches the bottom of the circular slope.

A block of mass m slides on a frictionless table with velocity v. At x = 0, it encounters a frictionless ramp of mass m/2 which is sitting at rest on the frictionless table. The block slides up the ramp, reaches maximum height, and slides back down. What is the velocity of the block when it reaches its maximum height? How high above the frictionless table does the block rise? What are the final velocities of the block and the ramp?

A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is at rest on a ramp of mass M = 5.30 kg which, in turn, is at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface (see (a) in the figure). The block and the ramp are aligned so that each has its center of mass located at x = 0. When released, the block slides down the ramp to the left and the ramp, also free to slide on the frictionless surface, slides to the right (see (b) in the figure). Calculate xramp (in m ), the distance the ramp has moved to the right, when xblock = −0.250 m. HINT m
