Starting from rest at the top, a child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 4.64 m/s. at what final speed would the child enter the water if the water slide were twice as high? ignore friction and resistance from the air and the water lubricating the slide.

Energy conservation law states:

At the top potential energy is at maximum and kinetic energy is zero. At the bottom potential energy is zero and kinetic energ is at maximum.

We have:


We can use this formula to calculate height:


To calculate requested speed we just need to double the height and insert it into equation:

It indicates no change in temperature and the process of matter changing its state
