Two children stand on a platform at the top of a curving slide next to a backyard swimming pool. at the same moment the smaller child hops off to jump straight down into the pool, the bigger child releases herself at the top of the frictionless slide.
(i) upon reaching the water, how does the kinetic energy of the smaller child compare with that of the larger child?
it is greater. it is less. the two energies are equal.
(ii) upon reaching the water, how does the speed of the smaller child compare with that of the larger child is?
it is greater. it is less. the two speeds are equal.
(iii) during their motions from the platform to the water, how does the average acceleration of the smaller child compare with that of the larger child? it is greater. it is less. the two accelerations are equal.
the first and third are wrong

Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.

Amachinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, at rest, at time t = 0 s. the wheel accelerates uniformly for 10 s and reaches the operating angular velocity of 96 rad/s. the wheel is run at that angular velocity for 40 s and then power is shut off. the wheel slows down uniformly at 1.5 rad/s2 until the wheel stops. in this situation, the time interval of deceleration is closest to:
