Answer:
The correct answer is "4.443 sec".
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of child,
= 34 kg
Mass of swing,
= 18 kg
Length,
= 4.9 m
The time period of pendulum will be:
T = 
= 
=
(a) The velocity of the object on the x-axis is 6 m/s, while on the y-axis is 2 m/s, so the magnitude of its velocity is the resultant of the velocities on the two axes:

And so, the kinetic energy of the object is

(b) The new velocity is 8.00 m/s on the x-axis and 4.00 m/s on the y-axis, so the magnitude of the new velocity is

And so the new kinetic energy is

So, the work done on the object is the variation of kinetic energy of the object:
Answer:
The first one (60%)
Explanation:
The first one converts 15% more energy than the other one. Therefore, it is more efficient.
Hope this helps!
