Question
Can you help me with (g).

Transcribed Image Text:A child of mass m starts from rest and slides without friction from a height h along a slide next to a pool (see figure). She is launched from a height h/5 into the air over the pool. We wish to find the
maximum height she reaches above the water in her projectile motion.
Ymax
th/5
(a) Is the child-Earth system isolated or nonisolated?
isolated
nonisolated
Why?
This answer has not been graded yet.
(b) Is there a nonconservative force acting within the system?
Yes
No

Transcribed Image Text:(c) Define the configuration of the system when the child is at the water level as having zero gravitational potential energy. Express the total energy of the system when the child is at the top
of the waterslide. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.)
E =
mgh
(d) Express the total energy of the system when the child is at the launching point. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g and v; for her speed at
the launch point.)
E =

mv? + mgh
(e) Express the total energy of the system when the child is at the highest point in her projectile motion. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g, v,
for her speed at maximum height, and y for her maximum airborne height.)
