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
Complete Question:
Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bury itself just below the surface. What would have to be the mass of this asteroid, in terms of the earth’s mass M, for the day to become 25.0% longer than it presently is as a result of the collision? Assume that the asteroid is very small compared to the earth and that the earth is uniform throughout.
Answer:
m = 0.001 M

Mass and energy are inter convertible.As per Einsteins mass and energy relations i.e 
,some amount of energy is lost that is converted into energy .
In our day to day life ,generally mass is lost and energy is formed. In a ideal assumption we subtract the mass of earlier one from the later one which indirectly denotes that some amount of mass is lost and energy is released .There is also endothermic reactions where energy is needed which does not mean mass is added.Here simply energy is needed to initiate the reactions.
So instead of subtracting the smaller value from lager we subtract the initial value from final as the latter one can explain a physical phenomenon in a better way.we can get some in formation from it.
