Enterprising students set an enormous slip-n-slide (a plastic sheetcovered in water to reduce friction) on flat ground. If the slip-n-slideis 250 m long, how small does the average acceleration have to be fora student starting at 5 m/s to slide to the end

a = -0.05 m/s² (negative sign shows deceleration)

Explanation:

In order, to find out the minimum average acceleration for a student starting at 5 m/s to slide to the end, we can use 3rd equation of motion. 3rd equation of motion is given as follows:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = minimum acceleration required = ?

s = minimum distance covered = 250 m

Vf = Final Speed = 0 m/s (for minimum acceleration the student will barely cover 250 m and then stop)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 5 m/s

Therefore,

2a(250 m) = (0 m/s)² - (5 m/s)²

a = - (25 m²/s²)/(500 m)

a = -0.05 m/s² (negative sign shows deceleration)

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.
