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.

Two light bulbs are installed in two sockets, the sockets are connected in series, and power is then applied to the combination
Arisa [49]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

<em>If one of the bulbs is removed from the series, the other bulb will not come on at all.</em>

This is because the removal of one of the bulbs would interrupt the flow of current though the entire circuit.

Hence, that the other one will get brighter if one of two bulbs in a circuit is removed from its socket is not true.

agasfer [191]
Hello!

These atoms are isotopes

Isotopes
are atoms with the same number of protons (which determine the atomic number) and a different number of neutrons. These two atoms have the same number of protons (13), but a different number of neutrons, so they are isotopes. 

According to their number of protons, these are Aluminum isotopes: ²⁷Al (stable), and ²⁶Al (radioactive), respectively. 

Have a nice day!

Which statement best describes energy and matter in a closed system? (2 po
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Energy can flow into and out of the system but matter cannot.

Explanation:

In a closed system, energy can flow in and out of the system but matter cannot.

  • A closed system prevents double way flow of matter.
  • A closed system conserves matter.

For an isolated system, energy and matter cannot flow out of the system.

For open systems, energy and matter can flow out of the system.

Such systems are used for certain thermodynamics experiment.
