What are the choices ? 

Without some directed choices, I'm, free to make up any
reasonable statement that could be said about Kevin in this
situation.  A few of them might be . . .

-- Kevin will have no trouble getting back in time for dinner.

-- Kevin will have no time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

-- Some simple Physics shows us that Kevin is out of his mind.
He can't really do that.

           -- Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

If time to cover the distance is zero, then speed is huge (infinite).

           -- Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .

If speed is huge (infinite), then kinetic energy is huge squared (even more).
There is not enough energy in the galaxy to push Kevin to that kind of speed.

         -- Mass = (Kevin's rest-mass) / √(1 - v²/c²)

-- As soon as Kevin reaches light-speed, his mass becomes infinite.
-- It takes an infinite amount of energy to push him any faster.
-- If he succeeds somehow, his mass becomes imaginary.
-- At that point, he might as well turn around and go home ...
     if he ever reached Planet-Y, nobody could see him anyway.

Kevin’s weight may change between Planet X and Planet Y.

Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object. Gravity is Earth’s pull of a body towards its center.  

Weight (W) is product of the mass (m) of the object and the force of gravity (g) acting on the object.  

W = mg  

The force of gravity may change between Plant X and Planet Y, and thus Kevin’s weight may change between Planet X and Planet Y.

A floating ice block is pushed through a displacement d = (14 m) i hat - (11 m) j along a straight embankment by rushing water,
Alika [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Displacement in ice block, d=14i-11j

Force exerted by water, F=158i-179j

To find,

Work done by the force during the displacement.

Solve,

We know that the product of force and displacement is called work done. It is also equal to the dot product of force and displacement as :

W=F.d

W=(158i-179j).(14i-11j)

We know that, i.i = j.j = k.k = 1

W=2212+1969=4181\ J

So, the work done by the force on the block during the displacement is 4181 Joules.

Which causes a rainbow in the sky?
Alina [70]
Sunlight (white light) refracts through droplets of water in the atmosphere and this causes a rainbow in the sky. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". The rainbow is caused by the reflection, refraction and dispersion of sunlight in water droplets that are present in the atmosphere.

The SAF operates the M113 Ultra APC.
HACTEHA [7]

The volume of the object must be no larger than 11.15 m^3.

Explanation:

In order for an object to be able to float in water, its density must be equal or smaller than the water density.

The density of water is:

\rho = 1000 kg/m^3

This means that the density of the object must be no larger than this value.

We also know that the density of an object is given by

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

For the object in this problem, the mass is

m=1.115\cdot 10^4 kg

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find its volume:

V=\frac{m}{\rho}=\frac{1.115\cdot 10^4}{1000}=11.15 m^3

So, the volume of the object must be no larger than 11.15 m^3.

Name one contact force and one force that acts through a force field
nirvana33 [79]
A contact force is a type of force which act on an object by coming in contact with the object. Examples of contact force that acts through a force field are: applied force, frictional force, air resistance force, tension, spring force, etc.
  Examples of forces that act through a force field are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, the weak interaction and the strong interaction.
