Comparing Acceleration and Time Of Different Slopesm

[QUOTE="dlacombe13, post: 5459243, member: 572290"] Ah, so I was thinking along the right path. I see how the normal force is wrong because, since gravity acts downwards and the angle of the surface (and the rider) would change. So if my logic is correct, slide A would have the greatest FINAL acceleration since the end of the slide has a nearly vertical slope, slide B would have the smallest final acceleration since the end slope is zero, and slide B would be in the middle since it is diagonal, and has a slope in the middle of A and C. Now for the time, I think I can assume that slides A and C have the same length of path, but flopped over the x-axis. However, I feel like slide C will take less time since it starts out faster. I can't, however, seem to come up with the logic to compare the straight slide with the curved ones...any idea? I feel like it might be less than slide A but more than slide C. [/QUOTE]
