Question 1068896: A small metal sphere falling out of a special metallic tungsten point hits the bottom of a vacuum chamber with a certain velocity as recorded by an sophisticated electronic Pockel's Cell timer. If the same experiment was performed in a chamber with twice the falling distance, by what factor would the velocity of the small metal sphere increase as it hits? Give a number such as 2 times as great, or 3.4 times as great, etc.
