A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.516 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing.

When you throw a pebble straight up with initial speed 5.0-m/s, it reaches a maximum height H with no air resistance. At what speed should you throw it straight up so it will go 1.7-times as high? Provide your final answer in m/s.
Two frisky Otters slide down frictionless hillsides of the same height but different slopes. the slopes of the hill for Otter 1 is 30 degrees, while the slope of the hill for Otter 2 is 60 degrees. if both start from rest, which Otter is moving faster when she reaches the bottom?
A woman pushes an initially stationary 11.3 kg gift up a 15.90 ramp a distance of 7.21 m. If she pushes with constant force of 84.0 N and the coefficient of friction is 0.333, what is the final velocity of the gift?
A skydiver (46 kg) is falling at 27 m/s when she pulls her parachute cord. The parachute slows her down to a safe 3 m/s by providing an average air resistance of 603 N. How far must she fall before she reaches this safe speed?
A student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height h=1.04km, the rocket reaches a speed of vf=391m/s. At that height, the rocket runs out of fuel, so there is no longer any thrust propelling it. Take the positive direction to be upward. After the rocket's engine turns off at a height of h=1.04kmℎ=1.04km, it continues to move upward due to the velocity that it reached. Calculate the maximum height, in meters above ground level, that the rocket reaches.
A bobsled makes a run down an ice track starting at 150 m vertical distance up the hill. If there is no friction, what is the velocity at the bottom of the hill?a. 27 m/sb. 36 m/sc. 45 m/s d. 54 m/s
A ball with mass 0.15 kg is thrown upward with initial velocity 20 m/s from the roof of a building 30 m high. There is a force due to air resistance of v2/1325 , where the velocity v is measured in m/s. (a) Find the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches. (b) Find the time that the ball hits the ground. Step by step solution please.
A theme park is planning out a new free-fall ride. The drop is almost perfectly frictionless, with a distance of 190 meters. Assuming that the initial velocity was zero, what would be the speed at the bottom of the drop? 1 53 m/s 2 61 m/s 3 67 m/s 4 72 m/s
While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.27 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 13.5 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use ? = 9.81 m/s^2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
