Curling is a sport in which players push large stones across smooth ice. Three curling stones that have the same mass were sliding across the ice. They were each pushed by a player, but not all from the same direction. Each curling stone changed speed as a result of being hit. Use the information in the diagram to answer. Which curling stone(s) experienced the strongest force when hit? How do you know?

The allotropes of carbon include a variety of structures that include three-dimensional tetrahedral lattices, planes of hexagonal rings, cylindrical tubes of hexagonal rings, and spheres of five- and six-membered rings. similar shapes of network covalent atomic solids are possible with carbon nitride, boron, and pure silicon (e. g., silicene is a graphene-like allotrope of pure silicon). in contrast, silicates exist as either highly ordered or amorphous (more random) three-dimensional lattices. what could explain why there are there no naturally occurring sheets, stacked sheets, cylindrical tubes, or spheres of network covalent atomic solids composed of silicon and oxygen (sio2)? would pure silicate structures make good lubricants or good electrical conductors?
