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?
K.E.A DIAGRAM :
• How to minimize the friction between the
