On a water slide ride, you start from rest at the top of a 45.0-m-long incline (filled with running water) and accelerate down at 4.00 m/s 2. You then enter a pool of water and skid along the surface for 20.0 m before stopping. (a) What is your speed at the bottom of the incline (b) What is the deceleration caused by the water in the pool (c) What was the total time for you to stop (d) How fast were you moving after skidding the first 10.0 m on the water surface
