A child of mass 40 kg is on a water slide. The slide slopes down at 25
Question:
A child of mass 40 kg is on a water slide. The slide slopes down at 25° to the horizontal. The acceleration of free fall is 9.81 m s−2. Calculate the child’s acceleration down the slope:
a. When there is no friction and the only force acting on the child is his weight
b. If a frictional force of 80 N acts up the slope.
Step by Step Answer:
a The acceleration of the child down the slide can be calculated using the equatio...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
