Answer:
P = 450 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a child, m = 18 kg
The vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the slide is 2.5 metres.
The Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg
We need to find the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the child sliding from the top to the bottom of the slide.
The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :
P = mgh
Substituting all the values,
P = 18 kg × 10 m/s² × 2.5 m
P = 450 J
Hence, the decrease in gravitational potential energy is 450 J.
True, because it is the state between solid and liquid

Everything on this page is solved with the SAME formula !
Distance = (speed) x (time) .
Before I get into how to solve each problem, we need to notice that
this whole sheet deals with speed, NOT velocity.
'Velocity' is speed AND THE DIRECTION OF THE MOTION.
Nothing on this page ever mentions direction, so there's no velocity
anywhere on the page.
Your teacher may not be happy if you talk about this on your homework,
but that's too bad. Just don't say "velocity" in any of your answers.
Say "speed", and if the teacher complains about that, then it's time to
let the teacher have it with both barrels.
1). Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
2). Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
3). Distance = (average speed of travel) x (time traveling at that speed)
4). Time to cover the distance = (distance) / (speed)
5). Car's speed = (distance the car covered) / (time the car took)
Sprinter speed = (distance the sprinter covered) / (time the sprinter took)
Calculate the car's speed.
Calculate the sprinter's speed.
... Look at the two speeds.
Decide which one is faster.
... Subtract the slower one from the faster one.
The difference is the answer to "by how much?" .
6). Distance = (speed) x (time spent moving at that speed)
7). Average speed = (TOTAL distance covered)
divided by
(time to cover the TOTAL distance).
