A particle, starting from point A in the drawing, is projected down the curved runway. Upon leaving the runway at point B, the particle is traveling straight upward and reaches a height of 4.00 m above the floor before falling back down. Ignoring friction and air resistance, what is the speed f the particle at point A?
