1. 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 1.500 s after leaving the slide. Ignoring friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing. The answer is 11.6 m (please explain)

2. An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain slope that makes an angle of 25.0° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.200. She coasts down a distance of 12.6 m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance is 4.30 mbelow the edge. How fast is she going just before she lands? The answer is 12 m/s. Please explain!

Please answer part d).

A string is tied between two posts sticking out of the wall. The posts are separated by 1.20 m. A 5.00-cm-long snippet of the string weighs 1.50 grams. You attach a machine to one of the posts, so that the post can vibrate up and down at a frequency set on the machine. (You can still consider the string attached to this post as a node - the machine does not create a high amplitude right at the post.)

a) You slowly turn up the frequency of the machine, and at 41.7 Hz you see the standing-wave pattern corresponding to the fundamental frequency of the system. What is the tension in the string? Express the answer in newtons (N). ANSWER: T = 300 N

b) You continue to increase the frequency of the machine, and at a higher frequency you observe that nodes form every 10 cm, and the antinodes have an oscillation amplitude of 5.2 mm. What is the frequency of this oscillation? Express the answer in hertz (Hz). ANSWER: f = 500 Hz

c) Another standing wave pattern appears when the machine is set to 167 Hz. The amplitude of the string's oscillation at the antinodes is 5.2 mm. How many antinodes n does the pattern have? ANSWER: n = 4.00

d) You keep the conditions set as they are in part C. What is the amplitude of the string's oscillation 40 cm from the post that the machine is oscillating? Express the answer in millimetres (mm).

A box with mass 1.60 kg is being pulled across a rough surface at a constant speed with a coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.310. The pulling force has a magnitude of 12.1 N and is directed at an angle 39.7 degrees above horizontal. If the box is dragged a distance of 11.2 m, what is the total energy lost to friction? (Hint: be sure to account for the upward component of the pulling force, and note that the energy lost to friction is being compensated for by the work added by the pulling force)
