A child whose weight is 276 N slides down a 5.90 m playground slide that makes an angle of 34.0° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between slide and child is 0.130. (a) How much energy is transferred to thermal energy? (b) If she starts at the top with a speed of 0.518 m/s, what is her speed at the bottom?

Explanation:

Frictional force acting on the child = μ mg cosθ

, μ is coefficient of kinetic friction ,  m is mass of child θ is inclination

work done by frictional force

μ mg cosθ x d , d is displacement on inclined plane

work done = .13 x 276 x cos34 x 5.9

= 175.5 J

This work will be converted into heat energy.

b ) Initial energy of child = mgh + 1/2 m v ² , h is height , v is initial velocity

= 276 x 5.9 sin34  + 1/2 x 276 / 9.8 x .518² [ mass m = 276 / g ]

= 910.59 + 3.77

= 914.36 J

loss of energy due to friction = 175.5

Net energy at the bottom

= 738.86 J

If v be the velocity at the bottom

1/2 m v² = 738 .86

.5 x (276 / 9.8) x v² = 738.86

v² = 52.47

v = 7.24 m /s .
