    Answer:

    v = 6.72 m/s

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Vertical height, h = 2.31 m

    We need to find the speed at the bottom of the slide. Let the speed be v. We can find it using the conservation of energy such that,

    \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh}

    Put all the values,

    v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.31} \\\\v=6.72\ m/s

    So, her speed at the bottom of the slide is equal to 6.72 m/s.
