Explanation:
Let the speeds of father and son are 
. The kinetic energies of father and son are 
. The mass of father and son are 
(a) According to given conditions, 
And 
Kinetic energy of father is given by :
.............(1)
Kinetic energy of son is given by :
...........(2)
From equation (1), (2) we get :
..............(3)
If the speed of father is speed up by 1.5 m/s, so the ratio of kinetic energies is given by :
Using equation (3) in above equation, we get :
(b) Put the value of 
in equation (3) as :
Hence, this is the required solution.
The answer is C because all the other choices would cause disaster like pollute the water if you just throw it in the sink and it would smell terrible if you put it in the garbage etc...
Answer: 40.650406504065 or 40 minutes and 39 seconds.
Explanation:
1 k = 1000m
race = 10000m
runner time = 10000 / 4.1
runner time = 2439.0243902439024 seconds
runner time = 2439.0243902439024/60 = 40.650406504065 or 40 minutes and 39 seconds.
There are three forces acting on the book.
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces
Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).
∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N
Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.
