A block is at rest at point A as shown in the diagram to the right. It slides down the track without friction until point B, where suddenly it encounters “a whole lot of friction” and eventually stops in 4.9 m. A and B are part of a circle with a radius of 2.1 m. How fast is the block moving at point B? What is the coefficient of friction between the block and the track as it moves past point B?
