Question

Sammy is sliding down the water slide. He's going faster and faster as he slides! What do you know about the forces acting on Sammy as he accelerates down the slide?

Answer 1

the forces acting on him are frictional force and gravitational force

Answer 2

Answer:

While sliding down the water slide the forces that will work on Sammy are weight, W=mg where g is acceleration due to gravity. Here the friction forces acting opposite to the direction of motion. The normal force.

Therefore, while Sammy is sliding down the water slide, he is going faster and faster as he slides. The forces acting on Sammy as he accelerates down the slide are gravity, friction and normal force.
