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.

Trava [24]

Answer:

19 cm

Explanation:

The total distance is 9+4+6 = 19 cm

However, the DISPLACEMENT is -9+4-6 = -11 cm.

Why do you think scientists put their results in data tables and graphs?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:Since most of the data scientist collect is quantitative, data tables and charts are usually used to organize the information • Graphs are created from data tables • They allow the investigator to get a visual image of the observations, which simplifies interpretation and drawing

Have a nice day (^-^) ;)

The shape of a planet's orbit is influenced by gravity.
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Gravity is a very important force. Every object in space exerts a gravitational pull on every other, and so gravity influences the paths taken by everything traveling through space. It is the glue that holds together entire galaxies. It keeps planets in orbit.
