6. A water slide can be considered to be frictionless. The top of the slide is 4.2 m above the bottom of the slide. Riders exit the slide with a horizontal velocity. The bottom of the slide is 1.5 m above the water. A certain rider has a mass of 27 kg.

A. Sketch the situation at the top of the slide, bottom if the slide, and just before they hit the water.

B. What is their gravitational potential energy at the top of the slide, relative to the bottom of the slide and relative to the top of the water?

C. What is their kinetic energy and speed at the bottom of the slide?

D. How far do they travel horizontally from the bottom of the slide before they hit the water?

E. Does the horizontal distance traveled depend on the mass of the rider? Explain.

#1. [Water Slide & Swing] You are designing a slide for a water park. In a sitting position, park guests slide a vertical distance h down the water slide, 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...

Two blocks are free to slide along the frictionless wooden track shown below. The block of mass m1 = 5.07 kg is released from the position shown, at height h = 5.00 m above the flat part of the track. Protruding from its front end is the north pole of a strong magnet, which repels the north pole of an identical magnet embedded in the back end of the block of mass m2 = 10.3 kg, initially at rest. The...

Question 6 6. “An environmental determinant of health can be considered to be any external agent (e.g. biological, chemical, physical, social or cultural) that can influence health status” (Fleming & Tenkate, 2015). Climate change is an important environmental determinant of health. Discuss how this environmental determinant impacts on individual and population health. Use examples, statistics and diagrams to support your arguments.

A block of mass M sits at rest at the top of a frictionless curved ramp of height h. After being released, the block is moving with speed 4v when it collides with a block of mass 1.5M at the bottom of the ramp. Immediately following the collision, the larger block has a speed 2v. The second block is attached to a vertical rope, and swings freely as a pendulum after the collision. The pendulum string has length L. a)...
