A child whose weight is 287 N slides down a 7.20 m playground slide that makes an angle of 31.0° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between slide and child is 0.120. (a) How much energy is transferred to thermal energy? (b) If she starts at the top with a speed of 0.559 m/s, what is her speed at the bottom?

a

b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The child's weight is  

    The length of the sliding surface of the playground is  

    The coefficient of friction is  

      The angle is

      The initial  speed is  

Generally the normal force acting on the child is mathematically represented as

=>    

Note  

Generally the frictional force between the slide and the child is    

Generally the resultant force acting on the child due to her weight and the frictional  force is mathematically represented as

Here  F is the resultant force and it is represented as  

=>  

=>  

=>  

=>

So

=>

Generally the heat energy generated by the frictional  force which equivalent tot the workdone by the frictional force  is mathematically represented as

=>  

=>  

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

=>  

=>  

=>  

momentum of soft ball three times less than baskey ball

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
