At an amusement park, a swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool. You may want to review (Pages 234 - 241) . Part A If the swimmer starts at rest, slides without friction, and descends through a vertical height of 2.81 m , what is her speed at the bottom of the slide

Her speed at the bottom of the slide is 7.42 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

The swimmer starts at rest, that is, her initial speed, u is 0 m/s.

Since she slides without friction and descends through a vertical height, then it is a free fall motion (due to gravity).

Also, from the question,

She descends through a vertical height of 2.81 m.

To determine her speed at the bottom of the slide, that is her final speed,

From one of the equations of motion for freely falling bodies

v² = u² + 2gh

Where v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

g is acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.8 m/s²)

and h is height

From the question,

u = 0 m/s

h = 2.81 m

Putting the values into the equation

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + 2×9.8×2.81

v² = 55.076

v =√55.076

v = 7.42 m/s

Hence, her speed at the bottom of the slide is 7.42 m/s.

  1.the balanced   chemical equation is as below

cu +   2 ag(no)₃ → cu(no₃)₂   +2 ag

2.the   much silver   produced   is   50.9 g

step 1: find the   moles of cu

moles =   mass÷   molar mass

  from periodic table the molar mass of cu = 63.5 g/mol

moles is therefore = 15.00 g÷ 63.5 g/mol = 0.236   moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the   moles of ag

from equation above   cu: ag   is 1: 2

therefore the moles of ag   =0.236   moles   x 2/1 =0.472   moles

step 3: find the mass   of ag

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table   the molar mass of ag =107.87 g/mol

mass   = 0.472   moles x 107.87 g/mol = 50.9 g

3.   the   much   silver   collected worth is   1.797 oz

  convert   50.9 g   to oz

that is   1 gram = 0.0353 oz

          50.9 grams =?   oz

by cross multiplication

={(50.9 grams x 0.0353 oz) / 1   gram}   =1.797 oz
