At an amusement park, a swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool. a. If the swimmer starts at rest, slides with negligi

ble friction, and down a 3.25 m long slide that descends through a vertical height of 2.31m, what is her speed at the bottom of the slide? b. Find the swimmer’s speed at the bottom of the slide if she starts with an initial speed of 0.840 m/s.

Answer:

a)6.7m/S

b)6.8m/s

Explanation:

Hello ! To solve the point b you must follow the steps below

1.Draw the slide taking into account its length and height and find the angle from which the swimmer is launched (see attached image)

2. Find the horizontal velocity (X) and vertical (Y) components (see attached image)

3) for the third step we must remember that as in the slide there is no horizontal acceleration the speed in X will remain constant at the end of the swimmer's path (Vx = 0.59m / s)

4)

the fourth step is to remember that vertically there is constant acceleration called gravity (g = 9.81m / s ^ 2), so to find the speed at the end of the route we use the following equation

Vfy= \sqrt{Vy^2+2gy}

where    

Vfy= final verticaly speed    

Vy=initial verticaly speed=0.59m/S

g=gravity=9.81m/S^2

y=height of slide=2.31m

solving

Vfy= \sqrt{Vy^2+2gy}\\Vfy= \sqrt{(0.59)^2+2(9.81)(2.31)}=6.77m/s

The last step is to add the velocity components vectorally at the end of the route with the following equation

V=\sqrt{Vfy^2+Vx^2} =\sqrt{6.77^2+0.59^2} =6.8m/s

point A

taking into account the previous steps we can infer that as the swimmer starts from rest, the velocity (Vx=Vy=O) is zero, so we should only use the formula for constant acceleration movement.

Vfy= \sqrt{Vy^2+2gy}

vy=0

Vfy=\sqrt{2gy}

Vfy=\sqrt{2(9.81)(2.31)}=6.7m/s

If a child starts from rest at point A and lands in the water at point B, a horizontal distance L = 2.52 m from the base of the
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The height of the water slide is 0.878 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 2.52 m

Suppose Children slide down a friction less water slide that ends at a height of 1.80 m above the pool.

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Put the value in the equation

1.80=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2

t^2=\dfrac{1.80\times2}{9.8}

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.80\times2}{9.8}}

t=0.606\ sec

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula of velocity

v = \dfrac{d}{t}

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{2.52}{0.606}

v=4.15\ m/s

We need to calculate height

Using conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

Put the value into the formula

h=\dfrac{4.15^2}{2\times9.8}

h=0.878\ m

Hence, The height of the water slide is 0.878 m.

mylen [45]

Answer:

Impulse = change in momentum w bounce

There are 2 impulses acting. Recoil of the fan going the negative direction and the impulse of the air bouncing off the sail. The greater impulse will bounce so the direction will be to the right moving the craft.

Two point charges each have a value of 3.0 c and are separated by a distance of 4.0 m. what is the electric field at a point mid
swat32
 <span>Place a test charge in the middle. It is 2cm away from each charge. 
The electric field E= F/Q where F is the force at the point and Q is the charge causing the force in this point. 
The test charge will have zero net force on it. The left 30uC charge will push it to the right and the right 30uC charge will push it to the left. The left and right force will equal each other and cancel each other out. 
THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION. 
THe electric field exactly midway between them = 0/Q = 0. 
But if the point moves even slightly you need the following formula 
F= (1/4Piε)(Q1Q2/D^2) 
Assume your test charge is positive and make sure you remember two positive charges repel, two unlike charges attract. Draw the forces on the test charge out as vectors and find the magnetude of the force, then divide by the total charge to to find the electric field strength:)</span>
