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?

(A. 9.2 meters) (B. 3.0) (C. 6.0) (D. 6.7)

Answer 1

6.0 meters

Answer 2

Nancy's displacement is the diagonal distance she travels via the slide = s

Height of slide(h) = 3 m

Angle = 30°

sin(30°) = 3/s

s= 6 m. Hence, option C is the correct answer
