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

<span>Mass of the copper penny m = 2.6 g Atomic mass of copper = 63.55, Atomic number = 29, So the number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 63 - 29 = 34 a. Neutron mass = 34 x (2.6 / 63.55) = 1.4 grams Copper atoms per mole = 6.040 x 10^23 atoms/mol moles of copper = 2.6 / 63.06 = 0.04123 mol Total atoms in the copper = 6.040 x 10^23 atoms/mol x 0.04123 mol = 0.25 x 10^23 atoms Number of electrons in the copper = 29 per atom Mass of the electron = 9.085 x 10^-28 g b. Electron mass = 0.25 x 10^23 x 29 x 9.085 x 10^-28 = 65.86 x 10^-5 g</span>

How do you give an example for finding net force?
Crazy boy [7]
--  6 people all trying to push a car out of snow

--  a Tug-o-War with 30 people of different sizes pulling on each end of the rope

--  you and your sister both pulling on the same doll (or Transformer)

--  lifting a book up from the table to a high shelf
    taking a book down from a high shelf to the table
    (one force is you; another force is gravity)

--  grabbing your big dog by his collar and trying to bring him inside

--  three people at the table all grab the ketchup bottle at the same time

A free positive charge released in an electric field will:
choli [55]

Answer:

accelerate in the direction in which the electric field is pointing.

Explanation:

The positive charge feels a force in the same direction as the electric field

F=Eq  

F and E are vectors, q is a scalar

(if it were a negative charge the force would be in the opposite direction)

that force will produce an acceleration in the same direction, that acceleration will cause the particle to move in the same direction, ie the direction of the electric field.

Why a surface that always have a perpendicular is an equipotential
Mariulka [41]
Answer:

An equipotential surface is circular in the two-dimensional. Since the electric field lines are directed radially away from the charge, hence they are opposite to the equipotential lines. Therefore, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface.
