The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure what I should be doing for this question, if height changes how is it possible that velocity stays the same, according to the conservation of energy (frictionless wire)? If horizontal velocity stays the same, then I would assume that some sort of slope would equal 0 of this equation; however the line would be still at y=0, and it says there's an answer besides that. I'm not sure of any other weird functions that could do this, except maybe a circle (but I doubt that's the answer because it's a wire). How should I be solving this?
