    Our neighbor’s cat gave birth to kittens. Of course, as soon as my son saw the “Kittens For Sale” sign in our neighbor’s yard, he wanted to go take a look at them. My husband and I knew that if our son saw the kittens, he was bound to want one for a pet. So we tried to avoid seeing them. Day in and day out, our son kept asking when we could go see the kittens. I kept telling my son he couldn’t have a cat, but it didn’t make a difference. He wanted to see them anyway. Finally, we gave in and we all went to see them.

    There were several other people at my neighbor’s house looking at the kittens. Our neighbor was standing next to the box handing out kittens left and right for people to look at. There were plenty of kittens to go around. My husband and son went to see the kittens, but I wanted nothing to do with them. I stayed near the door and tried not to be in anyone’s way.

    After looking at the kittens, my son ran over to me. “Come and see, Mom!” he said. “There are three boy kittens and two girl kittens.”

    I asked my son, “How can you tell the boys from the girls?”

    My son said, “Dad told me. He turns them upside down and looks under them. I think it’s written on the bottom.”

Maersk, the worlds largest shipping company, says the Suez Canal blockage's economic fallout will continue into second half of May

    Fallout from the Ever Given's time lodged in the Suez Canal will “ripple” through the economy for the next few weeks or months, according to Maersk, the world's biggest shipping company.

    “We will see ripple effects continuing into the second half of May,” Lars Mikael Jensen, head of Maersk's Global Ocean Network, told The Financial Times.

    The Ever Given, which is among the world”s largest container ships, was lodged in the canal for six days, effectively closing one of the world”s most important trade routes.

    The Ever Given was operated by the  Taiwan- based shipping company Evergreen Group. The ship was freed on March 29.

    Maersk predicted knock-on effects from the blockage. In an updated press advisory posted on Thursday, the company said it was pleased to see that the queue waiting at the canal was rapidly diminishing.

    “For each day that passes we are getting a clearer picture of what this incident means for our customers,” the company said.

    Maersk said about 50 ships had been delayed for about a week because of the blockage. Some of those ships waited on either end of the canal, while others were redirected around the Cape of Good Hope.

    The effects of those delays will be felt in ports around the world, the company said. Its advisory warned that delays may vary by location. Busy ports and terminals may not have berths for ships arriving outside their originally scheduled windows. The company previously said shipping backlog may take months to unravel.

    “Even when the canal gets reopened, the ripple effects on global capacity and equipment are significant and the blockage has already triggered a series of further disruptions and backlog in global shipping that could take weeks, possibly months, to unravel,” Maersk said in a statement back when the Ever Given was still lodged in the canal.

Texto introdutório para a questão.

A banda Queen foi uma banda britânica de rock, fundada em 1970 e recentemente teve parte de sua trajetória de sucesso dramatizada no cinema com a obra “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
No encerramento do filme, durante os créditos finais, há a exibição do clipe de uma das mais famosas músicas da banda: “Don't Stop Me Now”.

 

O neurocientista Jacob Jolij (Universidade de Groningen, Holanda) concluiu, em sua pesquisa de 2016, que essa “é a música mais feliz da história”.
Um trecho da música traduzida, ao lado da letra original de Freddie Mercury, é reproduzido abaixo:

 

Don't Stop Me Now

Tonight Im gonna have myself a real good time

I feel alive

And the world, [ll turn it inside out, yeah!

I'm floating around in ecstasy

So don't stop me now

Don't stop me

 

Cause I'm having a good time, having a good

time / I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky

Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity

I'm a racing car passing by,

like Lady Godiva

I'm gonna go, go, go

There's no stopping me

I'm burning through the sky, yeah!

Two hundred degrees / That's why they call me

Mister Fahrenheit

I'm travelling at the speed of light

I'm wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Não Me Pare Agora
Esta noite eu vou me divertir de verdade
Eu me sinto vivo
E o mundo, eu vou virá-lo do avesso, yeah!
Estou flutuando por aí em êxtase
Então não me pare agora
Não me pare

 

Porque eu estou me divertindo, me divertindo
Eu sou uma estrela cadente saltando pelo céu
Como um tigre desafiando as leis da gravidade
Eu sou um carro de corrida passando por aí,
como Lady Godiva
Eu vou, vou, Vou, vou
E nada vai me deter
Eu estou queimando pelo céu, yeah!
Duzentos graus / E por isso que me chamam de
Senhor Fahrenheit
Estou viajando na velocidade da luz
Eu quero transformá-lo num homem supersônico

    Freddie Mercury está rápido demais nessa canção! Para expressar toda a sua euforia, o autor afirma querer “transformá-lo num homem supersônico”.
    Um supersônico é aquele que se move acima da velocidade do som, que mede cerca de 340 m/s no ar.

    Considerando que um homem de massa 80 kg pudesse ser acelerado do repouso até começar a mover-se à velocidade do som, qual seria aproximadamente a quantidade de energia cinética desse homem?
