By conservation of energy...
PE = KE + Thermal Energy
mgh = .5mv2 + TE
(15)(9.8)(2.8) = (.5)(15)(2.3)2 + TE
Thermal Energy = 372 J
A 15.0 kg child descends a slide 2.8m high and reaches the bottom with a speed...
A 18.0 kg child descends a slide 2.30 m high and reaches the bottom with a speed of 1.90 m/s . How much thermal energy due to friction was generated in this process?
if the child reaches the bottom of the slide with a speed of 7.6m/s what is the kinetic energy at the bottom of the slide? how much energy was lost? where did it go?
At a playground, a 19-kg child plays on a slide that descends a total of 2.3 meters (vertically). The child starts out at rest at the top of the slide. During the child’s descent, friction does -361 J of work on the child. What speed does the child have at the bottom of the slide?
A 18 kg child slides down a 4.0 m-high playground slide. She starts from rest, and her speed at the bottom is 2.8 m/s. What is the change in the thermal energy of the slide and the seat of her pants?
A 29.00-kg child initially at rest slides down a playground slide from a height of 3.10 m above the bottom of the slide. If her speed at the bottom is 2.40 m/s, how much energy is lost due to friction?
A 20 kg child slides down a 3.0-m-high playground slide. She starts from rest, and her speed at the bottom is 1.7 m/s. What is the change in thermal energy of the slide and the seat of her pants? What is the change in thermal energy of the slide and the seat of her pants?
30-kg child slides down a playground slide as shown below. At the bottom of the slide, the speed of the child is 1.0 m/s. How many joules of internal energy were gained by the child and slide along the way? 2.5 m 30°
10.you are asked to design a friction-less playground slide such that the speed a child reaches at the bottom does not exceed 19 m/s. determine the maximum height (in meters) that the slide can be.
A 40-kg child slides down a curved slide starting at the top with an initial speed of 4 m/s. (a) Suppose that the slide is frictionless. Determine the speed of the child when she is 3 m below her starting height. (b) Suppose that the slide has friction. Determine the speed of the child when she is 5 m below her starting height if she starts from rest and 300 J of thermal energy is dissipated during the motion.
A 23 kg child slides down a 2.2-m-high playground slide. She starts from rest, and her speed at the bottom is 2.0 m/s.What is the change in thermal energy of the slide and the seat of her pants? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
