Two water slides at a pool are shaped differently but start at the same height. Two riders Sita and Gita start from rest at the same time on different slides. Neglecting friction, and assume same path length for both. Mark the correct statement.

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Both start at the same height, so by energy conservation they reach the ground with the same speed, and their path lengths are the same.

Sita's slide is steeper at the start ( $a_{S i t a} > a_{G i t a}$ at the beginning of the path) and she gains speed sooner, so her average speed is greater. Sita reaches the ground earlier than Gita.
