Answer:
No
Explanation:
When the person slides down, the change in gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, according to
[tex]\Delta U = \Delta K\\mg\Delta h = \frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]
where
m is the mass of the person
g is the acceleration of gravity
v is the final speed
[tex]\Delta h[/tex] is the change in heigth of the person
Here we have assumed that the initial speed is zero.
Re-arranging the equation,
[tex]v = \sqrt{2g \Delta h}[/tex]
and we see that this quantity does not depend on the mass of the person, so every person will have the same speed at the bottom of the slide, equal to:
[tex]v=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(3.2 m-1.2 m)}=6.3 m/s[/tex]
