Answer:

Gigantism

Explanation:

Gigantism

This is an unusual form of growth and stature as there is hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH), somatotropin prior to puberty. This will cause a further overgrowth of all the body tissues. This condition can be triggered by an anterior pituitary adenoma. It is yet to be ascertained if a genetic link can be the cause.

In Gigantism, there is unusual and increased growth, mainly of the long bones, since epiphyseal closure is not active. This situation causes poor Sexual and mental developments.

sammy [17]

Answer:

11\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

As per the Newton's first law of motion,

v = u + at\\

where "v" is the final speed

"u" is the initial speed

"a" is the acceleration

and "t" is the time taken

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

v = 2 + (1.5)*6\\= 2 + 9\\= 11 \frac{m}{s}\\

The cart be traveling at a speed of 11 \frac{m}{s} by the time it reaches level ground.
