Question 40

A child moves down a playground slide. The child slows down on a horizontal section at the bottom of the slide.

a.

State the force that acts against the movement of the child.

[1]
b.

Explain the energy transfers while the child is slowing down on the horizontal section. Use your answer to part (a).

[2]
c.

The work done by the force you identified in part (a) is 150 J as the child moves 5.0 m along the horizontal section.

Use the equation:

F=WsF = \dfrac{W}{s}F=sW​

Calculate the average magnitude of this force.
