A 36.0 kg child slides down a long slide in a playground. She starts from rest at a height h1 of 24.00 m. When she is partway down the slide, at a height h2 of 11.00 m, she is moving at a speed of 7.80 m/s. Calculate the mechanical energy lost due to friction (as heat, etc.).

Answer: it will take   4.36 seconds to reach her average velocity 10.69 miles/hour.explanation:   we have equation of motion ,where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.average velocity = displacement/ time taken.average velocity = 10.69 miles/hr = 10.69*1.6*1000/(60*60) = 4.75 m/s4.75 = s/ts = 4. 1we also have acceleration = 2.18 m/s², initial velocity = 0 m/sso it will take   4.36 seconds to reach her average velocity 10.69 miles/hour.

The answer should be a.
