(a) a child slides down a water slide at an amusement park from an initial height h. the slide can be considered frictionless because of the water flowing down it. can the equation for conservation of mechanical energy be used on the child?

(b) is the mass of the child a factor in determining his speed at the bottom of the slide?

(c) the child drops straight down rather than following the curved ramp of the slide. in which case will he be traveling faster at ground level?

following the curved ramp
dropping straight down
same speed in either case

(d) if friction is present, how would the conservation-of-energy equation be modified?

(e) find the maximum speed of the child when the slide is frictionless if the initial height of the slide is 11.5 m. (assume the child is initially at rest.) m/s

Will give brainliest! which statement best describes the difference between strong nuclear forces and weak nuclear forces? weak nuclear forces are involved when certain types of atoms break down. strong nuclear forces are responsible for holding atoms' nucleus together. weak nuclear forces hold bonds between atoms together. strong nuclear forces hold together the nucleus of an atom. strong nuclear bonds prevent atoms from falling apart. weak nuclear bonds prevent compounds from falling apart. strong nuclear forces are involved in breaking electrons from their shells. weak nuclear forces hold protons in the nucleus.

Light from a sodium lamp passes through a diffraction grating that has 1000 slits per millimeter. the interference pattern is viewed on a screen 1.000 m behind the grating. the first (m = 1) two bright yellow fringes that are visible are 0.7288 m and 0.7300 m from the central maximum. what are the wavelengths of these two fringes?
