A water slide launches a child horizontally above a swimming pool. vertical distance from the top of the slide to the launch point is 3.18 m. The point where the child is launched horizontally is 0.67 m above the water. How far from the launch point does the child land in the water?
vertical distance from the top of the slide to the launch point is 3.18 m.
So at the launch point all the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
PE.=KE.=mgh=(1/2)×m×v2
so v=
V=7.894 m/s
The point where the child is launched horizontally is 0.67 m above the water
So
Time to fall 0.67 m vertical.
H=ut+(1/2)gt2
t=
t=0.3697765459 second
So horizontal distance travelled in this time
distance =speed×time
d=7.894×0.37
d= 2.92 meter

A water slide launches a child horizontally above a swimming pool. vertical distance from the top of the slide to the launch point is 4.41 m. The point where the child is launched horizontally is 1.16 m above the water. How far from the launch point does the child land in the water?
Starting from rest at the top, a child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 4.65 m/s. At what final speed would the child enter the water if the water slide were twice as high? Ignore friction and resistance from the air and the water lubricating the slide.
Starting from rest at the top, a child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 4.00 m/s. At what final speed would the child enter the water if the water slide were twice as high? Ignore friction and resistance from the air and the water lubricating the slide.
In an amusement park water slide, people slide down an essentially frictionless tube. The top of the slide is 3.1 mabove the bottom where they exit the slide, moving horizontally, 1.2 m above a swimming pool. What horizontal distance do they travel from the exit point before hitting the water?
Starting from rest at the top, a child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 4.48 m/s. At what final speed would the child enter the water if the water slide were twice as high? Ignore friction and resistance from the air and the water lubricating the slide. I tried doing what the previous answers had but I couldnt come up with the correct answer.
Problem 10.65 In an amusement park water slide, people slide down an essentially frictionless tube. The top of the slide is 3.2m above the bottom where they exit the slide, moving horizontally, 1.2m above a swimming pool. Part A What horizontal distance do they travel from the exit point before hitting the water? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. d =
The top of a swimming pool is at ground level. If the pool is 2.90 m deep, how far below ground level does the bottom of the pool appear to be located for the following conditions? (a) The pool is completely filled with water. __________ m below ground level (b) The pool is filled halfway with water. _________ m below ground level Show work please
A 52.3 kg child slides down a water slide with a velocity of 1.1 m/sec at the top. At the bottom of the slide, she is moving horizontally, y=1.5 meters above the water. She splashes into the water d=2 meters to the left of the bottom of the slide. a: Assuming potential energy to be zero at the water level, what is the mechanical energy of the child at the top of the slide? b: How high is the top...
A person is swimming 0.91 m beneath the surface of the water in a swimming pool. A child standing on the diving board drops a ball into the pool directly above the swimmer. The swimmer sees the ball dropped from a height of 5.4 m above the water. From what height was the ball actually dropped?
A person is swimming 0.87 m beneath the surface of the water in a swimming pool. A child standing on the diving board drops a ball into the pool directly above the swimmer. The swimmer sees the ball dropped from a height of 5.3 m above the water. Part A From what height was the ball actually dropped?
