Explanation Given data: A rider on a water slide goes through three different kinds of motion as illustrated in Figure P3.84. Formula used: Write the relation between initial and final velocity. ( v x ) f 2 = ( v x ) i 2 + 2 a x Δ x (1) Here, ( v x ) i is the initial velocity, ( v x ) f is the final velocity, a x is the acceleration, and Δ x is the change in distance. Write the expression for a x in terms of angle. a x = g sin θ Explanation: Consider the initial velocity is 0 m s and the value of g is 9.8 m s 2 . Substitute 0 m s for initial velocity in equation (1), ( v x ) f 2 = ( 0 m s ) 2 + 2 a x Δ x ( v x
