A child whose weight is 287 N slides down a 7.20 m playground slide that makes an angle of 31.0° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between slide and child is 0.120. (a) How much energy is transferred to thermal energy? (b) If she starts at the top with a speed of 0.559 m/s, what is her speed at the bottom?

a

b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The child's weight is  

    The length of the sliding surface of the playground is  

    The coefficient of friction is  

      The angle is

      The initial  speed is  

Generally the normal force acting on the child is mathematically represented as

=>    

Note  

Generally the frictional force between the slide and the child is    

Generally the resultant force acting on the child due to her weight and the frictional  force is mathematically represented as

Here  F is the resultant force and it is represented as  

=>  

=>  

=>  

=>

So

=>

Generally the heat energy generated by the frictional  force which equivalent tot the workdone by the frictional force  is mathematically represented as

=>  

=>  

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

=>  

=>  

=>

vestigial organs (like your appendix) are organs that no longer serve a purpose.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
