Consider a small child sliding down two differently shaped slides that have the same coefficient of kinetic friction. How must t

he second slide be shaped to provide the same change in gravitational potential energy of the child-Earth system but more change in kinetic energy for the child while they slide down

Answer:

Having a bigger angle above the horizontal

Explanation:

Applying the energy conservation theorem:

K_1+U_1+W_{ext}=K_2+U_2

The kinetic energy is reduced because of the work done by the friction force.

The friction force is given by:

F_f=F_N*\µ

so the friction force depends on the Normal force, because the slide has an angle the normal force is given by:

F_N=m.g*cos(\theta)

So when the angle of the slide is bigger, the friction force decreases, for example:

for 45 degrees:

F_N=m.g*cos(45)\\F_N=0.70(m.g)\\

for 75 degrees:

F_N=m.g*cos(75)\\F_N=0.26(m.g)\\

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.

When the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them?
Llana [10]
If the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them increases by a factor 4.

In fact, the magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by:
F= k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges

We see that the magnitude of the force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r. Therefore, if the radius is halved:
r'= \frac{r}{2}
the magnitude of the force changes as follows:
F'=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r'^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{( \frac{r}{2})^2 }=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{ \frac{r^2}{4} } =4k  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=4 F
so, the force increases by a factor 4.
