Question

A "Super slide" at a carnival is essentially a ramp 35 meters long tilted at an angle of 18 degrees. People sit on blankets at the top of the slide, slide down to a flat section, and then slide to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blankets and all parts of the slide is 0.24.

b) Draw a diagram that shows the forces acting on the rider as she goes down the slide If you need to break any forces into components, show those components, and give the formulas for those components.

e) How far does the rider slide on the flat section before coming to a stop? Use energy methods.

f) Distinguish between conservative and non-conservative forces, Explain, with words and a diagram, why friction qualifies as a non-conservative force.
