No. Mechanical energy is not conserved.  There's quite a bit of friction on the slide.  So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What does this phrase mean in Physics?
Trava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Term "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" is derived from Newton's third law of motion.

This can be explained by an example of a block placed on the flat surface.

The weight of the block applies an action force on the surface while Surface applies a reaction force on the block. Action and reaction force applies to different bodies other would have canceled each other. Action and reaction forces are always acting in pairs. The magnitude of reaction force depends upon the action forces as both of them are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

Evaporating water produces gaseous water. What has occurred during this process?​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Heat has accelerated water atoms enough to break the surface tension which leads the liquid to turn into a gas

Explanation:

The state of a substance depends on the distribution of its atoms, therefore any atmosphere change (in this case heat) enough to change the atoms Distribution results in a change of state.

brainliest please ;)
