A massive bead is positioned on a parabolic wire in the x y -plane with the following parametrization (all distances in meters): P = ( x , y ) v 1 v 2 = α v 1 + α 2 v 2 = ( 2 3 , − 2 1 ) = ( 2 1 , 2 3 ) . There is an ambient gravitational acceleration of 1 0 m/s 2 in the − y direction. The bead starts from rest at α = − 1 , slides without losses along the wire, and leaves the wire at α = + 1 .
What is the bead's x -coordinate when it crosses the x -axis for the first time after leaving the wire?
