Scenario Three identical blocks are released simultaneously from height h. Block A is dropped from rest; Block B slides from rest down an incline (where friction may be neglected), and Block C is launched horizontally with speed Vo: Argumentation Dominique and Carlos are trying to determine which block will have the fastest speed just before hitting the ground and which block will reach the ground first: Dominique states, quot;They will all have the same speed before hitting the ground. Remember that we saw this demonstration in class, and it didn #x27;t matter how the blocks were dropped, they all landed at the same time. The speed will be the same because of conservation of energy: All blocks have the same gravitational potential energy to start with: This is the total energy and converts into kinetic energy_ Carlos states, quot;I think you re mixing up time and speed: They won #x27;t have the same speed at the end because Block C has an initial velocity They will all land at the same time, though_
