Reference no: EM13976847

Swimmers at a water park have a choice of two frictionless water slides. Although both slides have the same height, h, slide 1 is straight while slide 2 is curved (concave up), dropping quickly at first then leveling out. How does the speed v₁ of a swimmer reaching the end of slide 1 compare with v₂, the speed of a sqimmer reaching the end of slide 2.

a. v₁>v₂

b. v₁<v₂

c. v₁=v₂

d. No simple relationship exists between v₁ and v₂

* I chose option 'b' and it was marked incorrect. I talked this over with a bunch of my classmates and they are stumped too. Please explain to me the correct answer so I do not make this mistake again.
