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. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.598 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance, find the height H.

Starting from rest at the top, a child slides down the water
slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of
5.95 m/s. At what final speed would the child enter the water if
the water slide were twice as high? Ignore friction and resistance
from the air and the water lubricating the slide.

At the Monterey sports center pool there is a water slide whose
top is 5.00 meters above the pool. The total length of
the slide is 15.0 meters because it ‘winds’ its way down to the
water. Since water is running down the slide, there is very little
friction (we will assume none) between the swimmers’ bathing suits
and the slide surface.
Determine the final velocity of a person at the bottom
of the slide before they enter the water....

To test a slide at an amusement park, a block of wood with mass
3.00 kg is released at the top of the slide and slides down to the
horizontal section at the end, a vertical distance of 23.0 mm below
the starting point. The block flies off the ramp in a horizontal
direction and then lands on the ground after traveling through the
air 30.0 mm horizontally and 40.0 mm downward. Neglect air
resistance.

You are designing a slide for a water park. In a sitting
position, park guests slide a vertical distance h down the
waterslide, which has negligible friction. When they reach the
bottom of the slide, they grab a handle at the bottom end of a
6.00-m-long uniform pole. The pole hangs vertically, initially at
rest. The upper end of the pole is pivoted about a stationary,
frictionless axle. The pole with a person hanging on the end swings
up through...

Starting from rest, a kid named Billy goes down a slide, which
is a height of 2.5 m above the ground. Billy’s mass is 35 kg. There
is friction acting on Billy, so that when he reaches the bottom of
the slide (at ground level), his speed is only 3.5 m/s. Consider
the total mechanical energy of the Earth + Billy system, which
consists of kinetic and potential energy. How much mechanical
energy was lost due to friction? Give your...
