Question Number 21249 by Tinkutara last updated on 17/Sep/17

A particle slides down a frictionless  parabolic (y = x^2 ) track (A − B − C)  starting from rest at point A. Point B  is at the vertex of parabola and point C  is at a height less than that of point A.  After C, the particle moves freely in air  as a projectile. If the particle reaches  highest point at P, then  (a) KE at P = KE at B  (b) height at P = height at A  (c) total energy at P = total energy at  A  (d) time of travel from A to B = time of  travel from B to P.
