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 scuba diver is sitting on a boat while waiting to go on a dive and sees light reflected from the water's surface. At what angl
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

θ_p = 53.0º

Explanation:

For reflection polarization occurs when a beam is reflected at the interface between two means, the polarization in total when the angle between the reflected and the transmitted beam is 90º

Let's write the transmission equation

     n1 sin θ₁ = ne sin θ₂

The angle to normal (vertcal) is

    180 = θ2 + 90 + θ_p

    θ₂ = 90 - θ_p

Where θ₂ is the angle of the transmitted ray θ_p is the angle of the reflected polarized ray

We replace

     n1 sin θ_p = n2 sin (90 - θ_p)

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

    Sin (90- θ_p) = sin 90 cos θ_p - cos 90 sin θ_p = cos θ_p

In the law of reflection  incident angle equals reflected angle,  

    ni sin θ_p = ns cos θ_p

    n₂ / n₁ = sin θ_p / cos θ_p

    n₂ / n₁ = tan θ_p

    θ_p = tan⁻¹ (n₂ / n₁)

Now we can calculate it

The refractive index of air is 1 (n1 = 1) the refractive index of seawater varies between 1.33 and 1.40 depending on the amount of salts dissolved in the water

n₂ = 1.33

      θ_p = tan⁻¹ (1.33 / 1)

      θ_p = 53.0º

n₂ = 1.40

      θ_p = tan⁻¹ (1.40 / 1)

      Tep = 54.5º

A batter hits a 0.140-kg baseball that was approaching him at 19.5 m/s and, as a result, the ball leaves the bat at 44.8 m/s in
Arada [10]

Answer:

5295.3 N

Explanation:

According to law of momentum conservation, the change in momentum of the ball shall be from the momentum generated by the batter force

mv + P = mV

P = mV - mv = m(V - v)

Since the velocity of the ball before and after is in opposite direction, one of them is negative

P = 0.14(44.8 - (-19.5)) = 9 kg m/s

Hence the force exerted to generate such momentum within 1.7ms (0.0017s) is

F = P/t = 9/0.0017 = 5295.3 N

A third point charge q3 is now positioned halfway between q1 and q2. The net force on q2 now has a magnitude of F2,net = 4.444 N
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The value of third charge is 0.8μC.

Explanation:

Given that.

Magnitude of net force=4.444 N

According to figure,

Suppose, First charge = 2.4 μC

Second charge = 6.2 μC

Distance r₁ = 9.8 cm

Distance r₂ = 2.1 cm

We need to calculate the value of r

Using Pythagorean theorem

r=\sqrt{(r_{1})^2+(r_{2})^2}

Put the value into the formula

r=\sqrt{(9.8)^2+(2.1)^2}

r=10.02\ cm

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

F_{12}=\dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{(r)^2}

Force F₁₂,

F_{12}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.4\times10^{-6}\times6.2\times10^{-6}}{(10.02\times10^{-2})^2}

F_{12}=13.33\ N

F_{21}=-13.33\ N

Force F₂₃,

F_{23}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times6.2\times10^{-6}\times q_{3}}{(10.02)^2}

We need to calculate the value of third charge

F_{net}=F_{21}+F_{23}

4.444=-13.33+\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times6.2\times10^{-6}\times q_{3}}{(5.01)^2}

q_{3}=\dfrac{(4.444+13.33)\times(5.01\times10^{-2})^2}{9\times10^{9}\times6.2\times10^{-6}}

q_{3}=7.99\times10^{-7}\ C

q_{3}=0.8\times10^{-6}\ C

Hence, The value of third charge is 0.8μC.
