Question
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 75.0 kg. They are pushed off the top of
the slide from point A with a speed of 2.05 m/s, and they skim horizontally across the water a distance of 50 m before
coming to rest.
