Consider two slides, both of the same height. One is long and the other is short. From which slide will a child have a greater final speed when sliding off? Assume that there is no friction acting

1.The child on the longer slide will have a greater final speed.
2.The child on the shorter slide will have a greater final speed.
3.The final speed will be the same for the child on the longer slide as it is for the children on the shorter slide.
4.We cannot tell from the information given.
