A playground slide is inclined 40°. If a boy with a mass of 32 kg slides down for -3meters. How much work is done by gravity on the boy?

the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J

Explanation:

Given;

distance the boy slides, d = 3 m

angle of inclination of the playground, θ = 40⁰

mass of the boy, m = 32 kg

The vertical height, h, above the ground through which the boy falls represents the height of the triangle which is the opposite side.

The distance through which the boy slides, d, represents the hypotenuse side of the right triangle.

The work done by gravity on the boy is calculated as;

W = P.E = mgh

             = 32kg x 9.8m/s² x 1.928m

             = 604.62 J

Therefore, the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J

answer: point c: b. 1/2 potential, 1/2 kinetic, point a: 3/4 of its potential energy, point d or b: 3/4 potential, 1/4 kinetic

explanation: i cant explain. it's difficult to explain.

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.
