Shown below is a waterslide constructed in the late 1800's. This slide was unique for its time due to the fact that a large number of small wheels along its
length made friction negligible. Riders rode a small sled down the chute which ended with a horizontal section that caused the sled and rider to skim across
the water much like a flat pebble. The chute was 9.76 m high at the top and 54.3 m long. Consider a rider and sled with a combined mass of 81.0 kg. They
are pushed off the top of the slide from point A with a speed of 2.90 m/s, and they skim horizontally across the water a distance of 50 m before coming to
rest.

A spring with unstretched length of 14.3 cm has a spring constant of 4.63 N/m. The spring is lying on a horizontal surface, and is
attached at one end to a vertical post. The spring can move freely around the post. The other end of the spring is attached to a puck
of mass m. The puck is set into motion in a circle around the post with a period of 1.32 s. Assume the surface is frictionless, and the
spring can be described by Hooke's law.

To do this, you first explain about Einstein's notion of large masses, like those of stars, causing a curvature of spacetime. (See the section on general relativity.) To demonstrate, you put a bowling ball on your bed, so that it sinks downward and creates a deep depression in the mattress. Your sheet has a checked pattern that provides a nice coordinate system, as shown in the figure below. This is an example of a large mass (the bowling ball) creating a curvature of a flat, two-dimensional surface (the mattress) into a third dimension. (Spacetime is four dimensional, so its curvature is not easily visualized.) Then, you are going to amaze your friend by projecting a marble horizontally along a section of the sheet surface that is curved downward by the bowling ball so that the marble follows a circular path, as…arrow_forward
