A24kg child descends a slide 5m high and reaches the bottom with a speed of 2.8m/s. how much thermal energy due to friction was generated in this process?

1101.96 J

Explanation:

Potential energy at top = mgh = 24*10*5 = 1200J

Kinetic energy at bottom = 1/2*m*v² = 0.5*24*(2.8)²= 94.08 J

Loss of energy = 1200 J - 98.04 J

                         = 1101.96 J

Thermal energy due to friction =1101.96 J

answer: good job it's all correct !

explanation:

the old price per ounce is c/4.

the new price per ounce is c/3.6.

the ratio of the old price to the new one is

(c/4)/(c/3.6) = (c/c)×(3.6/4) = 0.9 . . = 9/10 . . "nine tenths" in either form
