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.

A skier of mass 59.0 kg starts from rest at the top of a ski slope of height 62.0 m . b)  Now moving horizontally, the skier crosses a patch of soft snow, where the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.250. If the patch is of width 66.0 m and the average force of air resistance on the skier is 180 N , how fast is she going after crossing the patch? c)  After crossing the patch of soft snow, the...

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...
