Question 79

A child slides down a water slide from rest at point P, accelerating as they go down. At the bottom of the slide, the child enters a flat splash pool and comes to a complete stop at point Q.

Which sequence represents the main energy changes that take place between point P and point Q?

A

gravitational potential→kinetic→thermal\text{gravitational potential} \rightarrow \text{kinetic} \rightarrow \text{thermal}gravitational potential→kinetic→thermal

B

kinetic→gravitational potential→thermal\text{kinetic} \rightarrow \text{gravitational potential} \rightarrow \text{thermal}kinetic→gravitational potential→thermal

C

gravitational potential→thermal→kinetic\text{gravitational potential} \rightarrow \text{thermal} \rightarrow \text{kinetic}gravitational potential→thermal→kinetic

D

kinetic→thermal→gravitational potential\text{kinetic} \rightarrow \text{thermal} \rightarrow \text{gravitational potential}kinetic→thermal→gravitational potential
