Answer:

If the racetrack’s length is 36 inches and is set to a height of 8 inches, 16 inches and 24 inches and each roll of the toy car is 7.8 seconds, 7.3 seconds and 6.6 seconds respectively, then, it only shows that the higher the racetrack, the faster the toy car will roll down because velocity, which measures how fast something is moving, is affected by gravity. Motion, as shown in this kind of scenario, is a kind of concept that depicts movement or change in position under given circumstances or factors over a period of time.

At any part where it is moving in a circle or even part of a circle (centripetal acceleration)
