A student, starting from rest, slides down a water slide. On the way down, a kinetic frictional force (a nonconservative force) acts on her. The student has a mass of 62.0 kg, and the height of the water slide is 12.4 m. If the kinetic frictional force does -5.72 × 103 J of work, how fast is the student going at the bottom of the slide?

a) A child slides down a water slide at an amusement park from an initial height h. The slide can be considered frictionless because of the water flowing down it. Can the equation for conservation of mechanical energy be used on the child? YesNo      (b) Is the mass of the child a factor in determining his speed at the bottom of the slide? YesNo      (c) The child drops straight down rather than following the curved ramp of the slide. In...

A 4.5 kg box slides down a 4.2-m -high frictionless hill, starting from rest, across a 2.3-m -wide horizontal surface, then hits a horizontal spring with spring constant 480 N/m . The other end of the spring is anchored against a wall. The ground under the spring is frictionless, but the 2.3-m-long horizontal surface is rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on this surface is 0.26. What is the speed of the box just before hitting the...
