A father racing his son has half the kinetic energy of the son, who has one-third the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.0 m/s and then has the same kinetic energy as the son.
(a) What is the original speed of the father?
(b) What is the original speed of the son?
Can anyone help me with this? I got a mess of equations. I got 2.96 for answer a, but it was wrong
