Two identical blocks are released simultaneously from rest at the same height on frictionless slides that also end at the same height as each other. Block 1 travels along a slide that begins with a gradual slope before dipping sharply at the end. Block 2 travels along a slide that dips sharply at the beginning before ending along a horizontal section. The blocks travel exactly the same distance from point A to B. At an instant after the blocks have begun their slide but before either has reached point B, we can condlude that:
a. the blocks must have the same speed
b. block 2 is moving faster
c. the blocks must have the same magnitude of acceleration
d. block 2 has a larger magnitude of acceleration
e. more than 1 of the above statements are correct
