The figures shows a particle sliding on a frictionless track, which terminates in a straight horizontal section. If the particle starts slipping from the point \( A \), how far away from the track will the particle hit the ground?
(a) \( 1 \mathrm{~m} \)
(b) \( 2 \mathrm{~m} \)
(c) \( 3 \mathrm{~m} \)
(d) \( 4 \mathrm{~m} \)
