At Schlitterbahn, a 75.0 kg person rides a 12.0 m high water slide. If dissipative forces do -6.25 x 10³ J on the rider as they go from rest at the top of the ride to the bottom, then what is the speed of the rider at the bottom of the slide? Include a diagram of the situation and indicate the mechanical energy at both the top and at the bottom of the slide.
