Shin and Hana are having fun at a water park. They travel down the slides as shown above (with a somewhat vague representation of them), each of which start a distance h above the water. Who has the faster speed when reaching the bottom of the slide? It's impossible to know, since we don't know the exact curvature of each slide. They both have the same speed at the bottom. Hana Shin

Two skaters, each of mass 85 kg, approach each other along parallel paths separated by 5.5 m. They have equal and opposite velocities of 1.9 m/s. The first skater carries one end of a long pole with negligible mass, and the second skater grabs the other end of it as she passes; see the figure. Assume frictionless ice. Describe quantitatively the motion of the skaters after they have become connected by the pole. What is their angular speed?

Two skaters, each of mass 35 kg, approach each other along parallel paths separated by 3.6 m. They have equal and opposite velocities of 1.4 m/s. The first skater carries one end of a long pole with negligible mass, and the second skater grabs the other end of it as she passes. See Fig. 12-42. Assume frictionless ice.Figure 12-42(a) Describe quantitatively the motion of the skaters after they have become connected by the pole. m (radius) rad/s (angular speed)(b) By pulling on the pole, the skaters reduce their separation to 1.0 m. What is their angular speed then? rad/s(c) Calculate the kinetic energy of the system in (a) and (b). J (energy for system a) J (energy for system b)
