    1. As the water in a river approaches a 10.0 m vertical drop, itsaverage speed is x m/s. As that water falls, its Kinetic Energyincreases. The speed of the water (ased on 1 !g of mass" is 1#.$ m/s %&st efore it hits the gro&nd. 'ind the average speed of the riverwater efore it goes over the eeeeeedge.

    . Tyronne &ses several plan!s to slide a )*0 !g piano onto the ac!of a 000 !g pic!&p tr&c!. The ox of the pic!&p tr&c! is +1 cm aovethe gro&nd. The plan!s are ).0 m long. Tyronne and his &ddies exertan average force of 1*00 to slide the piano across the plan!s ontothe ac!. The plan!s ma!e a )0 degree angle with the gro&nd andthere is 0 !m/hr wind lowing. -ist any AT23 yo& arema!ing.

    a" 4etermine the efciency  of the plan!s as a simple machine to loadthe piano.
