Nicholas Copernicus correctly assumed that the planets revolved around the sun but he incorrectly assumed that the planets followed a perfect circle orbit around the sun. It was later on discovered by Johannes Kepler that the planets moved around the sun following an elliptical orbit.
Yeah!! It's possible for an object by changing it's direction....
Assuming that the angle is the same for both ropes, then D. is the answer. You have to consider also if the ropes are close together or far apart and if the force to move the object is in line with the ropes or perpendicular to them.

According to another source this is what I got
<span>0.735 J ( Ep-potential energy, m-mass,g-gravitational acceleration = 9.81m/s², h-height; Ep = m * g * h; Ep = 0.0300 kg * 9.81 m/s² * 2.5 m )
</span>Hope it helps
Divide 24 by 12.
24/t = 12
24/12 = t
24/12 = 2
t = 2
