Question

You decide to get into a pool by going down the magic frictionless water slide. If the starting height of the slide is 7.8 m above the pool water’s surface, what is your speed, in m/s, upon entering the pool if your mass is 57.2 kg and you start with an initial speed of 0.8 m/s?

Answer 1

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2g*h. Vo = 0.8 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s^2, h = 7.8 m, V = ?.
