5. A 29.00-kg child initially at rest slides down a playground slide from a height of 2.90 m above the bottom of the slide. If her speed at the bottom is 2.30 m/s, how much energy is lost due to friction? J

Step 1
$$PE = mgh$$ where m = 29.00 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², and h = 2.90 m. $$PE = (29.00 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2.90 m) = 823.42 J$$ Show more…
