Starting from rest at the top, a child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 4

.64 m/s. at what final speed would the child enter the water if the water slide were twice as high? ignore friction and resistance from the air and the water lubricating the slide.

Energy conservation law states:
E_{total} = E_{potential} + E_{kinetic}
At the top potential energy is at maximum and kinetic energy is zero. At the bottom potential energy is zero and kinetic energ is at maximum.

We have:
E_{total-top} = E_{total-bottom} \\ E_{potential-top} + E_{kinetic-top} =E_{potential-bottom} + E_{kinetic-bottom} \\ E_{potential-top} =E_{kinetic-bottom} \\ m*g*h = \frac{1}{2} *m* v^{2} \\ g*h = \frac{1}{2} * v^{2}

We can use this formula to calculate height:
h= \frac{\frac{1}{2} * v^{2} }{g}  \\ h= \frac{\frac{1}{2} * 4.64^{2} }{9.81}  \\ h=1.09m

To calculate requested speed we just need to double the height and insert it into equation:
v= \sqrt{2*g*2*h}  \\ v=\sqrt{2*9.81*2*1.09} \\ v=6.54 m/s

An object has a velocity of 8 m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 j what is the mass of the object
dedylja [7]

We Know,

K.E. = 1/2 mv²

480 = 1/2 (m)(8)²

m = 960/64

m = 15 Kg

So, the mass of the object is 15 Kg

if you drop a stone from height of 2.5m. what is the speed of the stone right before it hits the ground?
KonstantinChe [14]
Since the stone was dropped from height, its initial velocity = 0 m/s

Using  v² = u² + 2gs.

Where g ≈ 10 m/s²,  u = initial velocity = 0 m/s, s = height from drop = 2.5 m

v² = u² + 2gs

v² = 0² + 2*10*2.5

v² = 0 + 50

v² = 50

v = √50

v ≈ 7.07 m/s

Hence velocity just before hitting the ground is ≈ 7.07 m/s

Detergents are special, powerful cleansers that can break up dirt, oils, and grease in clothing or on dishes.

Cleaning solvents are used to remove oil, grease, solder flux, and other contaminants.

Acid cleaners are generally used to remove mineral deposits and are useful for descaling dishwashers or removing rust from restroom facilities.

Abrasive uses
* Buffing.
* Honing.
* Drilling.
* Grinding.
* Sanding.
