A 25-kg child sits at the top of a 4-meter slide. After sliding down, the child is traveling at 5 m/s. How much PE does he start

with? How much KE does he end with? How much energy is lost to friction?

Daniddmelo says it right there, don't know why he got reported.

The potential energy (PE) is mass x height x gravity. So it would be 25 kg x 4  m x 9.8 = 980 joules. The child starts out with 980 joules of potential energy. The kinetic energy (KE) is (1/2) x mass x velocity squared. KE = (1/2) x 25 kg x 5 m/s2 = 312.5 joules. So he ends with 312.5 joules of kinetic energy. The Energy lost to friction =  PE - KE. 980- 312.5 = 667.5 joules of energy lost to friction.

Please don't just copy and paste, and thank you Dan cause you practically did it I just... elaborated more? I dunno.

6. Why does sound travel faster through a steel bar than through a swimming pool filled with water?
Lady_Fox [76]
I understand that sound travels faster in water then in air. Water is a liquid, and air is gas.

Water still has the ability to roll the molecules over each other (so water can flow), it has some flexibility.

But I do not understand how a solid that is inflexible can make sound waves travel faster then in a flexible liquid.

In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air.

Sound waves travel over four times faster in water than it would in air.
