A student, starting from rest, slides down a water slide. On the way down, a kinetic frictional force (a nonconservative force) acts on her. The student has a mass of 61.0 kg, and the height of the water slide is 12.3 m. If the kinetic frictional force does -5.80 × 103 J of work, how fast is the student going at the bottom of the slide?

Acommercial passenger jet can travel up to 970 km/hr at an altitude of 30,000 feet. at this speed, how long will it take the jet to travel 1,865 kilometers? a. 2.3 hrs b. 1.9 hrs c. 1.7 hrs d. 1.5 hrs

Which statements describe the movement of ocean currents around the globe? check all that apply. strong winds force warm water to sink to the ocean floor. the coriolis effect causes warm and cold water to mix. cool dense water sinks to the ocean floor. warm water replaces cool surface water. wind blowing parallel to the shore causes upwelling of cool water.

Awater balloon launcher uses an elastic band with a spring constant of 115 n/m to use thee launcher you stretch thee band back with a balloon n it the water balloons have a mass of 1.3 kg a) if you stretch the band by 0.8 m, what elastic force will the band exert? b) with the band stretched 0.8 m, how much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring? c) if you release the band, it pushes forward. what is the kinetic energy of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band? d) what is the speed of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band?
