Quinn is at rest at the top of a playground slide. The main part of the slide is 5.0 m long, and it is tipped at a 30 degree angle. Quinn starts sliding, moving down the tipped section, and then the slide levels out so that he leaves the slide at 2.0 m/s, moving horizontally. Quinn's mass is 24kg.
A) If we consider the osolated system of earch+slide+Quinn, what is the amount of work done on such a system?
B) what is the work-energy equation for such a system?
C) what is the initial and final kinetic energy of the system?
D) what is the change in potential energy of the system?
E) How much thermal energy is deposited in his trousers and in the slide?
