Comparing Energy and Movement on a Swing and Water Slide

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on comparing the energy dynamics and movement quality experienced on a swing versus a water slide. Key points include the differences in kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) as a person transitions through each activity. The swing involves gravitational potential energy converting to kinetic energy during the swing motion, while the water slide primarily experiences minimal friction, affecting energy variation. Participants are encouraged to provide their insights and diagrams to facilitate a deeper understanding of the comparison. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for a clear analysis of energy changes in both scenarios.

Welcome to PF. :smile:

As you have been told via Personal Message, please take care to only post the English translation of your questions and replies. Thanks.

And we require that you show your work on a schoolwork problem before we can offer tutorial assistance. What are your thoughts so far on this question?
 
And are you supposed to compare a swing versus a water slide? Or is it some kind of combined swing + water slide? Is there a diagram that goes with the problem? You can use the "Attach files" link below the Edit window to upload a PDF or JPEG file with the diagram...

So please give us your thoughts about how the energy and movement of a person on a swing compares to a person going down a water slide (very little friction). How do Kinetic Energy (KE) and Potential Energy (PE) vary for those two different people? You need to show your efforts on the problem before we can offer tutorial help.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
