A)Ep'=mgh=mgl(1-cosa).At the bottom of the swing Ep=0(reference level),so the potential energy as the child is just released is bigger than the potential energy at the bottom of the swing.;B)The speed of the child at the bottom of the swing-->v=√(2gh)=√[2gl(1-cosa)];C)I don't think that the tension does any work.
What you need to know is that the force is
F=ma
The force is the product of mass and acceleration
this means that the acceleration is
a=F/m
a) The force is halved?
this means that f will be

now:
a=

So the accelaration will also he halved (it's the original acceleratation divided by 2)
b) The object's mass is halved?
a=

=a=

which is the original acceleration times two!! so it will double
c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?
now we have
a=

=a=

=a=

so they will cancel each other out and the acceleration will stay the same!
Answer:
Currently in the united states using parallel system
Explanation:
because you can walk with the twomodes with internal combustion engine or running on electric power.
They will occupy less volume which will cause an increased density of the particles.
