FIGURE 8-2 -Swimmers at a Water Park Have a Choice of Two

Question 14

Multiple Choice

FIGURE 8-2 FIGURE 8-2 -Swimmers at a water park have a choice of two frictionless water slides (see Figure 8-2) . Although both slides drop over the same height, h, slide 1 is straight while slide 2 is curved, dropping quickly at first and then leveling out. How does the speed v<sub>1</sub> of a swimmer reaching the end of slide 1 compares with v<sub>2</sub>, the speed of a swimmer reaching the end of slide 2? A) v<sub>1</sub> > v<sub>2</sub> B) v<sub>1</sub> < v<sub>2</sub> C) v<sub>1</sub> = v<sub>2</sub> D) No simple relationship exists between v<sub>1</sub> and v<sub>2</sub>.
