Answer:
same 0.81m
Explanation:
in this problem if we assume there no resistance of any sort. and we apply the energy conservation
change in Potential energy = change in kinetic energy
mgh = 0.5mv^2
gh = 0.5v^2
the above relation suggests that the speed at the bottom is only depending on the height it is released from not on the shape, mass or radius.
so at the bottom
put h = 0.81m
9.81 * 0.81 * 2 = v^2
v=3.99 m/s
both CYLINDER and SPHERE will have same velocity at the bottom if released from the same height irrespective of shape and size
No. Mechanical energy is not conserved. There's quite a bit of friction on the slide. So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.
