Aroller coaster car rolls down a frictionless track, reaching a speed v at the bottom. if you want the car to go twice as fast at the bottom, by what factor must you increase the height of the track? does you answer to part a depend on whether the track is straight or not? explain

By a factor of

Explanation:

The relationship between potential energy and the velocity of an object can be expressed with the following formula:  m.g.h =

According to the example in the question, for the velocity of the rollercoaster to be twice as much as it was before, the height of the track must be increased by a factor of of it's original height.

Of course if the track is not straight and if it has a curve, the factor to multiply its height is going to be different since the acceleration of the rollercoaster is going to be different.

I hope this answer helps.

well seeing i am an artist and i actually did a self portrait; i will describe how i painted it.   i used acrylic on a stretch canvas about 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall. i painted myself smiling in a soft pink long dress, white tile floor sitting on a white couch with a table behind and a vase of gorgeous flowers.   i also had a round white hat with a soft pink ribbon through it laying on the floor and on the table behind me was a lit candle. i kept it simple but soft and romantic.
