Answer to Question #324575 in Quantum Mechanics for aries183

Question

Some workers re-roofing a building are using a slide to get material from the roof to a bin beside the building.

Assume that the slide is frictionless and that the material being slid down starts at the top of the slide at rest.

If the bin is 4.4 m vertically below the top of the slide then at what speed will the material enter the bin? (in m s−1 to 2 s.f)

Answer 1

$v=\sqrt{2gh}=9.3~\frac ms.$
