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

What happens in terms of energy when a moving car hits a parked car, causing the parked car to move?
meriva
This is an example Newton's Third Law. All the kinectic energy from the moving car transferred the potential energy of the parked car. This potential is not much since the brakes are on (hopefully) and it's not in a non-moving position.

Light of wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm. (a) the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 m
faltersainse [42]

The distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

To find the answer, we have to know about the width of the central maximum.

<h3>How to find the distance between slit and the screen?</h3>
  • It is given that, wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm, and the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 mm.
  • We have the expression for slit width w as,

                           w=\frac{2*wavelength*d}{a}

where, d is the distance between slit and the screen, and a is the slit width.

  • Thus, distance between slit and the screen is,

                           d=\frac{w*a}{2*wavelength} =\frac{8*10^{-3}*0.17*10^{-3}}{560*10^{-9}*2} \\\\d=1.214m

Thus, we can conclude that, the distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

Why the unit of power is called derived unit? <br>​
Lilit [14]
A :-) it was given the name Newton (N). from this, the derived unit of energy (or work) is defined ,as the work produced when the unit of force causes a displacement equal to the unit of length of its point of application along its direction . It was given the name Joule (J).
