(2) When children slide down the slide, mechanical energy is not conserved, because when they slide down, children overcome friction and do work, and part of mechanical energy is converted into internal energy.
(3) If the slideway is made too high and too long, the temperature of children's buttocks will rise due to friction, causing children's buttocks to be injured; The slide is too high and too long, and the child's initial gravitational potential energy is too large, which makes the kinetic energy of the child rushing down too large, which is easy to cause danger.
