Question

A rider on a water slide goes through three different kinds of motion, as illustrated is shown. Use the data and details from the figure to answer the following question.

What is the vertical component of the velocity of a rider as he or she hits the water?
A. 2.4 m/s              B. 3.4 m/s              C. 5.2 m/s              D. 9.1 m/s

L=6.0 m
1. The first section of the motion is a
ramp with no friction; riders start at
rest and accelerate down the ramp.
2. The second section of the
motion is a circular segment
that changes the direction of
motion; riders go around this
circular segment at a constant
speed and end with a velocity ..
that is horizontal.
0 = 45°/
/r= 1.5 m
h=0.60 m
3. The third section of the motion is a parabolic trajectory
through the air at the end of which riders land in the water.
