Answer:

20.5

Explanation:

in this case, the two vectors are in the same direction, so they simply add:

total motion = 18m/s + 2.5m/s = 20.5m/s to the west

A certain frictionless simple pendulum having a length l and mass m swings with period t. If both l and m are doubled, what is t
iVinArrow [24]

If l and m both are doubled then the period becomes √2*T

what is a simple pendulum?

It is the one which can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass.

A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.

Here,

A certain frictionless simple pendulum having a length l and mass m

mass of pendulum = m

length of the pendulum = l

The period of simple pendulum is:

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Where k is the constant.

Now the length and mass are doubled,

m' = 2m

l' = 2l

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2l}{g} }

T' = \sqrt{2}* 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

T' = \sqrt{2} * T

Hence,

If l and m both are doubled then the period becomes √2*T

Why do individuals have different traits
Gwar [14]
Individuals have different traits because they are not twins so they should not  be alike also  because people have different genes witch would give them different traits. For example not every individual has blonde hair and blue eyes because they did not inherit those traits.

Let’s tie this all together. It makes sense that, if the rope force remains greater than the gravitational force, the child keep
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

If child weight is equal to rope force then child will move with uniform speed

or we can say that the child will remain at rest in his position

Explanation:

As we know that child is hanging by rope

so here there will be two forces on the child

1) Weight or gravitational force which act vertically downwards

2) Tension in the rope which act vertically upwards

Now if child will accelerate upwards then tension force must be more than the weight of the child

If tension force is less than the weight then child will decelerate and his speed will decrease

if tension force is equal to child weight then in that case the child will remain at rest or it will move with same speed
