In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:
-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide. The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.
-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.
-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.
-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes. Make the slide like an air hockey table.
-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water. The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.
-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide. If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.
-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide. Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.
Better weight distribution and more stability
Answer:
faster; more kinetic energy
Explanation:
Answer:
Refer to the attachment for solution (1).
<h3><u>Calculating time taken by it to stop (t) :</u></h3>
By using the second equation of motion,
→ v = u + at
- v denotes final velocity
- u denotes initial velocity
- t denotes time
- a denotes acceleration
→ 0 = 5 + (-5/6)t
→ 0 = 5 - (5/6)t
→ 0 + (5/6)t = 5
→ (5/6)t = 5
→ t = 5 ÷ (5/6)
→ t = 5 × (6/5)
→ t = 6 seconds
→ Time taken to stop = 6 seconds
Explanation:
It's displacement would be negative
displacement is a vector quantity.
'Backwards', we can assume, would be negative.
and forwards, positive. So going backwards would mean a negative displacement.
