Need Help with Homework about a book!

I need help with homework, unfortunately it is due tomorrow and I haven't read the book yet.

Here are the questions

Questions

Wrong answers will count against you!

Answer the questions from the book "An Unknown Detective Novel" that is planned to be written in 2065 by a guy who isn't born yet to the best of your ability.

Question 1

What is the name of the main character?

Question 2

Which university did the protagonist Karl Karlson attend?

Question 3

When did he graduate from the University of Bad Names?

Question 4

After his graduation in (2074) where did Karl find a position?

Question 5

How much did he earn per hour while working as a Cief Naming Officer?

Question 6

Karl's earnings T (in dollars) can be modeled using the linear equation T=13*h where h is the number of hours he worked. What was his hourly wage the following year?

Question 7

Karl's hourly wage W (in dollars) in a given year can be given by the equation W = 10*(1.1)^y where y is the number of years since he started working. After finding out his wage had an upper limit at $12 per hour, he got very angry and crumpled his contract, then threw it high into the air. After how many seconds did contract land in the trashcan 12 meters away? (assume no air resistance, a gravitational acceleration of 9.81m/s^2) Show all you work.

Question 8

If the paper was in the air for 10 seconds, and the parrot Mr. Repeater hit it at its highest position. How far from the parrot was his owner Alexandra.

Question 9

If Alexandra was looking at the parrot at a 40º angle with the horizontal, with what minimum acceleration would Karl have to start running away to escape from Alexandra to escape?

Question 10

Karl ended up getting caught 1 minute after the start of the chase because Alexandra caught him by accelerating towards him at 0.0889m/s^2. After Karl was caught, Alexandra caught him and started torturing him, by forcing him to name an even number greater than 2 that is not the sum of 2 prime numbers. What number did Karl name?

Bonus Question

This question gives you double point penalty if you get it wrong.

Who was the victim (it was supposed to be a detective novel remember)?

Please tell me the answers, thank you!

In hidsight, I could have made far better jokes and written the story a bit londer and funnier... As you can see I was also lazy and just stopped giving the plaintext answers after a while. I think I will write a new post after I come up with a better plot, better jokes, and make sure all the questions are actually interesting and have some depth behind them.
