At an amusement park, a swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool. You may want to review (Pages 234 - 241) . Part A If the swimmer starts at rest, slides without friction, and descends through a vertical height of 2.81 m , what is her speed at the bottom of the slide

Her speed at the bottom of the slide is 7.42 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

The swimmer starts at rest, that is, her initial speed, u is 0 m/s.

Since she slides without friction and descends through a vertical height, then it is a free fall motion (due to gravity).

Also, from the question,

She descends through a vertical height of 2.81 m.

To determine her speed at the bottom of the slide, that is her final speed,

From one of the equations of motion for freely falling bodies

v² = u² + 2gh

Where v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

g is acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.8 m/s²)

and h is height

From the question,

u = 0 m/s

h = 2.81 m

Putting the values into the equation

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + 2×9.8×2.81

v² = 55.076

v =√55.076

v = 7.42 m/s

Hence, her speed at the bottom of the slide is 7.42 m/s.
