Astudent, starting from rest, slides down a water slide. on the way down, a kinetic frictional force (a nonconservative force) acts on her. the student has a mass of 76 kg, and the height of the water slide is 12.8 m. if the kinetic frictional force does -7.4 × 103 j of work, how fast is the student going at the bottom of the slide?

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
