Question:

Two children slide down playground slides of identical heights but different angles, one shallow and one steep.

(a) Suppose the slides are so slippery that the force of friction is negligibly small. Which child, if either, moves faster at the bottom of the slide? Which one, if either, arrives at the bottom first?

(b) Now take into account the kinetic friction between the child and the slide. Which child, if either, moves faster at the bottom of the slide?
