Question

A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. One person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.504 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance. Find the height H.

Answer 1

Answer:

4.93 m

Explanation:

According to the question, the computation of the height is shown below:

But before that first we need to find out the speed which is shown below:

As we know that

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

$Speed = \frac{5}{0.504}$

= 9.92 m/s

Now

$v^2 - u^2 = 2\times g\times h$

$9.92^2 = 2\times 9.98 \times h$

98.4064 = 19.96 × height

So, the height is 4.93 m

We simply applied the above formulas so that the height i.e H could arrive
