At an amusement park, a swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool If the swimmer start at rest slides without friction and descend through a vertical height of 2.31m what is her speed at the bottom of the slide

Respuesta :

Answer:

v = 6.72 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Vertical height, h = 2.31 m

We need to find the speed at the bottom of the slide. Let the speed be v. We can find it using the conservation of energy such that,

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.31} \\\\v=6.72\ m/s[/tex]

So, her speed at the bottom of the slide is equal to 6.72 m/s.
