Let the weight of a dog be m. Then the horse weight is 10m. If they are running with the same speed V, the kinetic energy of a dog is K(dog) = mV²/2 and the kinetic energy of a horse is K(horse) = 10mV²/2. Therefore, the ratio of their kinetic energy is R = K(dog)/K(horse) = (mV²/2) / (10mV²/2) = 0.1.
