A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :

- Two cities X and Y are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T min. A girl is driving scooty with a speed of 60 km/h in the direction X to Y. She notices that a bus goes past her every 30 minutes in the direction of her motion, and every 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period T of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.

Some Natural Phenomena
A naturally occurring process that occurs without any human input is known as Natural Phenomena. For instance, weather, gravity, fog, erosion, thunder, tides, biological processes, oscillation, etc. Winds, storms, and cyclones are some examples of natural phenomena. These are phenomena of destruction. Two other destructive natural phenomena are also discussed below:
- A natural phenomenon in which the surface of the earth starts trembling and shaking due to disturbances deep inside the earth’s crust is called an earthquake.
- A blinding flash of light with the sound of thunder during a thunderstorm is known as lightning. It is also the movement of energy from cloud to cloud or from space to ground.
