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. The mass of the boy is 60kg and the distance along the curved water slide is 10.0m. As shown in the figure below, a boy is observed to hit the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in 0.500 s after leaving the slide. Ignoring friction and air resistance, find the height H. Water slide S.1u 5.00 m

Two blocks, A and B (with mass 50.0 kg and 1.00 102 kg, respectively), are connected by a string, as shown in Figure P5.86. The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the incline is k = 0.250. Determine the change in the kinetic energy of block A as it moves from to , a distance of 20.0 m up the incline (and block B drops downward a distance of 20.0 m) if the system starts from rest.

An electric scooter has a battery capable of supplying 120 Wh of energy. If friction forces and other losses account for 60.0% of the energy usage, what altitude change can a rider achieve when driving in hilly ter-rain if the rider and scooter have a combined weight of 890 N?
The skateboarder in the drawing starts down the left side of the ramp with an initial speed of 6.3 ft/s. If nonconservative forces, such as kinetic friction and air resistance, are negligible, what would be the height "h" of the highest point (in meters) reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp?

a mother and her child are skiing together, and the mother is holding the end of a rope tied to the child's waist. They are moving at a speed of 7.2 kph on a gently sloping portion of the ski slope when the morher observes that they are approaching a steep descrnt. She pulls on the rope with an average force of 15 N. Knowing the coefficient of frivtion between the mother and the ground is 0.2, the mass of the mother is 62 kg and the angle of the rope does not change, determine the acceleration of the mother, the time reuired dor the mother's speed to be cut in half, and the distance traveled.
