because a heavier person has more inertia, and therefore the forces that work to slow the person down, i.e. friction, wind resistance, whatever, will have less effect on an object with more inertia than less inertia

What forces are acting on you when you slide down a water slide What type of friction is present If the water slide was dry?
fluid friction
What force would help you slide down a slide?
Gravity? the strength of the floor?
Which falls faster a book or a sheet of paper?
it actually depends on the surface of the thing . it does not depends on the weight. if the paper is flat the book will come down faster but if the same paper crumple the paper will come down faster try it your self
What kind of toy is Slip and Slide?
A Slip N Slide is an outdoor water toy for children. It is a long sheet of plastic that becomes slippery when wet. After wetting the toy with a garden hose, children can then slide down the plastic sheet. The original Slip N Slide was created by Wham-O.
What are the forces acting on the cars and explain why the cars do not slide down the hill?
The car is being acted upon by gravity and friction. The reason that the car doesn't slide down the hill is because friction is keeping the car in place.
Why does a heavier person slide down a hill faster than a lighter person when on a snow tube?
because the heavier person has more initeria and therefore the forces that would slow the slider down i.e friction, wind resistance, whatever, have less effect on a heavier person that a lighter person
How can you slide down the slide faster?
Make the slide steeper Furniture polish on the slide will speed it up.
What makes a slide faster to slide down?
for a water slide pull down your swimsuit by your but. Furniture polish on the slide, sitting on a mat or lycra trousers.
Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
Why did salt evaporate faster in tap water?
it is heavier due to its faster speed coming down
How do you make Aluminum foil slide faster than a child sliding down a slide?
Attach a rocket to it.
Do heavier objects come down faster?
It depends on their air resistance, in a vacuum NO.
What would happen if you slide down a slide with water on it?
youd go faster, but the slide would get sticky after a while and would give someone a wedgie or pull their pants down!
Why can you slide faster down a slide when you sit on a plastic or fiberglass mat?
The plastic or fiberglass has a lower coefficient of friction.
When starting to slide down a waterslide why would a person push on the side of the slide?
The person is using the slide to make himself move.
What does friction mean in the terms of physical science?
I only know this because I learned it in school (5th Grade) so I'm not sure if this is in terms of physical science but friction means for something to come to a stop or slow down. For example: If 2 people were going down a slide, and one person went down the slide with a cloth underneath them and the other person had nothing underneath them, then the person with the cloth is going to go faster because the person without the cloth is creating friction when he/she rubs (goes down) the slide.
