Consider a person sliding down a water slide at constant velocity. What are the forces acting on the person as they slide? Determine if the forces are balanced or unbalanced. Explain.
A.
Weight, gravity, and friction are acting on the person. The forces are unbalanced. Gravity is the strongest force causing the person to move.
B.
Gravity and friction are acting on the person. The forces are balanced. There is no net force because the person is moving at a constant velocity.
C.
Gravity and air resistance are acting on the person. The forces are balanced until the person reaches the bottom of the water slide.
D.
Gravity and friction are acting on the person. The forces are unbalanced because the person is sliding down the slide.

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

Aplayground slide is 8.80 ft long and makes an angle of 25.0° with the horizontal. a 63.0-kg child, initially at the top, slides all the way down to the bottom of the slide. (a) choosing the bottom of the slide as the reference configuration, what is the system's potential energy when the child is at the top and at the bottom of the slide? what is the change in potential energy as the child slides from the top to the bottom of the slide? (include the sign of the value in your answer.)
