A 2.17-kg child descends a slide 3.5m high and reaches the bottom and reaches a speed of 2.2m/s. How much thermal energy due to friction was generated in this process? Help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

initial energy - final energy= heat generated \[mgh-mv ^{2}/2 = heat \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it clear?
