Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is:

T = 2π √(L/g)

where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The period of a pendulum can be decreased by decreasing the length of the pendulum or by moving the pendulum to a place with a higher gravity.

The period of a pendulum can be increased by increasing the length of the pendulum or by moving the pendulum to a place with a lower gravity.

Answer:

101.54m/h

Explanation:

Given that the buses are 5mi apart, and that they are both driving at the same speed of 55m/h, rate of change of distance can be determined using differentiation as;

Let l be the be the distance further away at which they will meet from the current points;

$l=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=12m\\\\\frac{dl}{dt}=-(55m/h+55m/h})\\\\=-110m/h$ #The speed toward each other.

$\frac{dh}{dt}=0, \ \ \ \ h=constant\\\\h^2+l^2=b^2\\\\2h\frac{dh}{dt}+2l\frac{dl}{dt}=2b\frac{db}{dt}\\\\2\times5\times0+2\times12\times(-110)=2\times13\frac{db}{dt}\\\\\frac{db}{dt}=-101.54m/h$
