FIGURE 8-2 Swimmers at a water park have a choice of two frictionless water slides (see Figure 8-2). Although both slides drop over the same height, h, slide 1 is straight while slide 2 is curved, dropping quickly at first and then leveling out. How does the speed v1 of a swimmer reaching the end of slide 1 compares with v2, the speed of a swimmer reaching the end of slide 2?
