Question

Nancy is playing on a ladder and slide. The entry point of the slide is 3.0 meters above the ground and the slide is inclined at an angle of 30.0° with the horizontal. What is Nancy’s displacement each time she slides down from the top?

Answer 1

We have right triangle here. The displacement is its hypotenuse, so D=3/sin(30)=3*2=6m
