In an amusement park water slide, people slide down an essentially frictionless tube. The top of the slide is 3.2 m above the bottom where they exit the slide, moving horizontally, 1.5 m above a swimming pool. What horizontal distance do they travel from the exit point before hitting the water? Does the mass of the person make any difference?

Horizontal distance moved by the person is 3.2 m

And it is independent of the mas of the person

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the people when it is sliding downwards is given as

Now the time taken by the person to hit the water surface is given as

horizontal distance moved by the person is given as

kinetic

i'm so sorry if this is wrong i'm only in 6th grade xd
