Solving an acceleration problem.
Magnus decided to use his neighbors humongous swimming pool as a skate park.
For an entry, he perched at the top of the big blue waterslide.
He was motionless (0m/s) at the top of the slide and launched downward!
He reached the bottom of the slide in 1.15 seconds traveling 6.2 m/s and soaring outward toward the pool.
What was his acceleration?
Unfortunately, the pool was empty for maintenance…
