own the same slide.
A. What speed does Kenny reach at the bottom of the slide?
B. What speed does Cartman reach the bottom of the slide?
C. Kyle slides down the same slide. What speed does Kyle reach at the bottom of the slide? Explain.

<u>a).</u>
Kenny's potential energy at the top becomes kinetic energy at the bottom.
                          
                                               (M G H) = 1/2 (M V²)

Divide each side by 'M':                 G H = 1/2  V²

Multiply each side by  2:              2 G H = V²

Take the square root of each side:    V = √(G H)

                                                             = √(9.8 x 3.2) = <em><u>5.6 m/s .</u></em>

<u>b).</u>
Notice in the solution for a). that each side of the equation was divided
by 'M'.  The answer didn't depend on Kenny's mass, and it doesn't depend
on Cartman's mass either.  Cartman and Kenny are both moving at the
same speed when they reach the bottom.

<u>c).</u>
Notice in the solution for a). that each side of the equation was divided
by 'M'.  The answer didn't depend on Kenny's mass.  It didn't depend on
Cartman's mass either, and it doesn't depend on Kyle's mass either, either. 
Each of them is moving at the same speed when he reaches the bottom.
The same also applies to girls as well, too.

mario62 [17]

The answer is:

d) the sound originates from a vibration.

The explanation:

The sound waves are generated by a sound source, such as the vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker. The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium. As the source continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound, thus forming the sound wave.

A sidereal day is the time it takes for
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

B. the stars to come back to the same positions in the sky.

Explanation:

In fact, the solar day is equivalent to more than a rotation, because when the point has turned completely, it is not, as it should, in the same position with respect to the Sun.

The reason for this is that while performing the rotation, the Earth simultaneously moved following its orbit around the Sun.

When the reference point completed its rotation, the Earth already moved almost 2,500,000 km., So that to see the Sun again it will be necessary to turn a little more.

Solar day is more than a rotation. The sidereal or sidereal day, commonly used by astronomers, is also based on the rotation of the Earth; but in this case a distant star is taken as a reference (sidereal comes from the Latin sidus which means "star").
