Two ice-skaters are skating in circles on a frozen pond. Maria is making large circles with a radius of 12 m and skating 4.5 m/s. Her friend, Samantha, is making smaller circles with a radius of 6 m but is not skating as quickly, going only 3.8 m/s. How could each skater increase her centripetal acceleration without changing the size of her path? Explain your reasoning.

Aball tossed vertically upward from the ground next to a building passes the bottom of a window 1.8 s after being tossed and passes the top of the window 0.20 s later. the window is 2.0 m high from top to bottom. what was the ball's initial velocity? the unit vector j^ is directed upward. how far is the bottom of the window from the launch position? how high does the ball rise above the launch position?
