Real Life Application of Motion of A Girl Sliding Down Smooth Water Slide
The document discusses the motion of a girl sliding down a smooth water slide. It uses the principles of conservation of energy and equations of motion to calculate the height and placement of the slide given the girl's mass and initial and final positions. The girl starts at the top of the slide with potential energy and gains kinetic energy as she slides down, with the total energy remaining constant. Calculations show that for a 50kg girl starting 2.54m above the water, the slide needs to be 1.04m high and she will land in the water at a speed of 4.51m/s. Real-life applications of regulating slide speed and safety measures are also discussed.

EQUATION OF MOTION AND PRINCIPLE From the topic of Kinetic Other example :
OF WOORK AND ENERGY of a particle :
When the girl is on top, She has maximum Force and Acceleration, since potential energy, by the equation P.E. = mgh. the girl is sliding down a smooth When she is sliding down the slide, she gain water slide, it indicates that kinetic energy while loss of potential energy. friction is negligible. So, the K.E. = ½mv2. only force acting on the girl is her own weight. By the principle of conservation of energy, the total energy can be equated in the equation below: GIRL COMMON PROBLEM P.E.A + K.E.A = P.E.B + K.E.B • How to keep lighter rider and heavier Where, P.E.A = potential energy at point A FREE BODY rider stay safety on the slide?
