### Physics Problem: Water Slide MotionA water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 meters from the end of the slide in a time of 0.516 seconds after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance, find the height \( H \) in the drawing.**Diagram Description:**The diagram shows a water slide with a person about to leave the end of the slide. The slide continues in a curve downward, and the swimmer exits horizontally. The vertical distance from the top of the slide to the water is denoted as \( H \). The horizontal distance from the end of the slide to the point where the person lands in the water is labeled as 5.00 meters.**Solution Box:**- **Number:** [Input Field]- **Units:** [Dropdown Menu]This problem involves analyzing the motion of the swimmer both horizontally and vertically. You will need to apply principles of projectile motion to solve for the height \( H \).

While watching the Minty Mania Grand Prix (the first race of the Marbula One 2020 season), you're curious about a few things. You notice that the marbles move downhill during the entire race (the slope of the track changes at different points), and then are lifted back to the starting line by a conveyor belt at the end of each lap. The announcer mentions that the conveyor belt lifts the marbles a height of 40.0 cm, at a constant speed of 0.095m/s, and that the length of the conveyor belt is 52 cm. He also mentions that the length of the track (from start line to finish line) is 10.26 m. You can assume that the marble is already moving at this speed when it starts moving up the conveyor belt. You also know that the mass of each racer (marble) is 6.6 g. To simplify the analysis, you decide to model the force of friction acting on the marble (due to interactions with the track, walls, and other marbles) as a constant 0.002 N force. To satisfy your curiosity, determine the power of the…
Two snowy peaks are at heights H = 800 m and h = 740 m above the valley between them. A ski run extends between the peaks, with a total length of 2.91 km and an average slope of 0 = 32° (see the figure). (a) A skier starts from rest at the top of the higher peak.

(b) Approximately what coefficient of kinetic friction between snow and skis would make him stop just at the top of the lower peak? (a) Number i (b) Number i h 0 Units Units 0 H ←
