2. After one month of taking a literature class, a first-year Bard student decides to dispose of all the poetry he wrote in high school. Placing his poetry in a large box that ends up with a total mass of 40 kg, he pushes the box up a frictionless 25° slope that leads to a large cliff dropping into a bottomless chasm. Starting from rest and continually exerting a 500N force in the horizontal direction on the box, how long does it take him to push the box 50 meters 125° up the slope to the cliff?

(a) A child slides down a water slide at an amusement park from an initial height h. The slide can be considered frictionless because of the water flowing down it.

(c) The child drops straight down rather than following the curved ramp of the slide. In which case will he be traveling faster at ground level? (d) If friction is present, how would the conservation-of-energy equation be modified? (e) Find the maximum speed of the child when the slide is frictionless if the initial height of the slide is 12.0 m.
