A young girl wishes to select on of the frictionless playground slides illustrated below to give her the greatest possible speed when she reaches the bottom of the slide. Which of the slides illustrated in the diagram above should she choose?

A 0.5-kg ball is moving in a circular path at the end of a string with a constant speed of 3 m/s. The length of the string is 1 m. What is the magnitude of the centripetal force exerted by the string on the ball to produce this motion?

12. Rock Cycle Fill in the numbered and lettered blanks in the rock cycle shown below.  The numbered blanks will be filled in with the names of the 3 main rock types (one is subdivided into a and b) and one other material that is not yet a rock.  The letters on the arrows refer to the name of the process forming these rocks/materials. Lastly, there are some arrows not yet drawn.  Normally I’d have you draw these in and label them, but since you can’t do that on an online drawing, I want you to describe where the needed arrows would go from and to, and what process you would label them with. Hint 1: Numbers 1a and 2 are formed at the Earth’s surface, 3 is formed fairly close to the surface, and 1b and 4 are usually formed deep within the earth. Hint 2: For A and B, there are 2 arrows, but consider them as one set of processes.  For A, B, C, D,and E, there are a number of possible correct answers, and more than one will be accepted. Spelling counts.  If you mis-spell an answer, you will not receive full credit. Figure 14 1a:                                 A: 1b:                                B: 2:                                      C: 3:                                      D: 4:                                      E: What arrows are missing from this drawing, and what process happens in each of them? I will go over these to make sure that you get as much credit as possible.
