AI Thread Summary
A child sliding down a water slide starts from rest and reaches a speed of 5.00 m/s upon entering the water. To determine the final speed if the slide were twice as high, one can apply the conservation of energy principle, equating potential energy at the top to kinetic energy at the bottom. The relevant formulas for potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE) are used to calculate the new final velocity. The original poster confirmed they found the answer after receiving assistance. The discussion emphasizes understanding energy conservation in physics problems.

Starting from rest at the top, a child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 5.00 m/s. At what final speed would the child enter the water if the water slide were twice as high? Ignore friction and resistance from the air and the water lubricating the slide.

Please help ASAP if you can

Thanks very much

Use energy of conservation. Potential energy at top of slide = kinetic energy at bottom. Use the formulas for PE and KE to get final velocity.
 
dw i got the answer
 
thanks tho :D
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
