Answer:
Having a bigger angle above the horizontal
Explanation:
Applying the energy conservation theorem:
The kinetic energy is reduced because of the work done by the friction force.
The friction force is given by:
so the friction force depends on the Normal force, because the slide has an angle the normal force is given by:
So when the angle of the slide is bigger, the friction force decreases, for example:
for 45 degrees:
for 75 degrees:
as you can see if the angle is bigger above the horizontal, the friction force is reduced and so the work done by that force. We didn't have to change the height of the slide, so the potential gravitational energy remains the same.
Answer:
I guess you can round it to 11 seconds.
Explanation:
Going with a speed 9m/s means you are going 9 meters in each second.
If you are going 9 meters in second how many seconds will it take to 100 meters?
Visually;
9 meters - - - 1 second
100 meters - - - ?seconds.
When you write like this 9 times ?seconds equal to 100 meters time 1 second. (you probably know this but just in case)
So to find ?second you multiply 100meters by 1 and divide it by 9 whixh will give you 11.1111 seconds whixh again I believe you can round it to 11.
(Kind of a) Proof;
If 9m * ?sec = 100 m * 1 sec
you send 9 meters to other side.
?sec = (100 m * 1 sec) ÷ 9m
Hope it was clear and it helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
