Answer:
The velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding, h = 15 m
We need to find the velocity of the Mr. Miles at the bottom of the slide. It is a case of conservation of energy which states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the Mr. miles. So,
[tex]v=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]
g is the acceleration due to gravity
[tex]v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}[/tex]
v = 17.14 m/s
So, the velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
