Answer to Question 1

We hope that they will make such a change. To be sure, the initial investment is
high, and some families might be too poor to afford the cost, even though they would
recoup the cost very rapidly. Look for some logic in the students' explanations.

Answer to Question 2

If the force exerted on the mass is twice as large and the mass is also twice as
large, the acceleration (the rate of change in velocity) is the same in both cases.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
