A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. The height H of the slide is 8.0 m. a) At what velocity the person leaves the slide? Ans: 9.9 m/s b) As the drawing shows, how far from the edge of the slide does the person land on the water? Ans: 0.72 m [Hint: Use the conservation energy for the first part and use the appropriate kinematic equation for the second part]

![A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.500 s after leaving the slide. Ignoring friction and air resistance, calculate the height H in the drawing. [Answer: H = 6.33]](https://www.doubtrix.com/uploads/editor/5566802426WCQjbowDMi.png)
