Q1.

The photograph below shows a theme park ride called AquaShute. 

Riders of the AquaShute sit on a sled and move down a slide.

The decrease in gravitational potential energy of one rider on the slide was 8.33 kJ. 

The rider moved through a vertical height of 17.0 m. 

gravitational field strength = 9.8 N/kg 

Calculate the mass of the rider.

    Ep=m×g×h
    8330=m×9.8×17.0
    m= 8330/9.8×17.0
    m= 8330/166.6
    =50.0kg
