Re: [Phys-l] Water Slides.



A heavier object exhibits greater X double dot (and X dot terminal) w/ drag than a lighter one, n'est-ce pas? e.g. Guinea and feather?

bc more than fleeting, but not ukasian.

p.s. BrianW's example: counter thought: more coulomb and less viscous / turbulent? (greater normal force, M*V^2/R ?)

Is there any reason to believe a child doesn't come close to the lip?

bc's only big experience is the one usta be at alum rock park, San
Jose.

municipal pool in Gavle or Sandviken (Sweden).
