A. inertia
Because it has to do with the motion of something, especially if it changes its pace. In this example, the book's motion, when sliding on the table, decreased because of less force being given off from the student.
Set up a proportion
1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x
Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers
Answer:
<em>The distance is now 4d</em>
Explanation:
<u>Mechanical Force</u>
According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:
F = m.a
Where a is the acceleration of the object.
The acceleration can be calculated by solving for a:

Once we know the acceleration, we can calculate the distance traveled by the block as follows:

If the block starts from rest, vo=0:

Substituting the value of the acceleration:

Simplifying:

When a force F'=4F is applied and assuming the mass is the same, the new acceleration is:

And the distance is now:

Dividing d'/d:

Simplifying:

Thus:
d' = 4d
The distance is now 4d
In my estimation I would say C, I was leaning towards A, but I believe that would merely be "incomplete combustion." I hope this was semi-helpful!
