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 spring that is compressed 14.5 cm from its equilibrium position stores 2.99 J of potential energy. Determine the spring consta
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

284.4233 N/m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant

x = Compression of spring = 14.5 cm

U = Potential energy = 2.99 J

The potential energy of a spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

Rearranging to get the value of k

\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2U}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2\times 2.99}{0.145^2}\\\Rightarrow k=284.4233\ N/m

The spring constant is 284.4233 N/m

If you observe an object in the universe that is roughly 8 megaparsecs in size, what is the object most likely to be?
Dmitrij [34]

E. Galaxy Cluster

Explanation:

A galaxy cluster, or cluster of galaxies, is a structure that consists of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of galaxies that are bound together by mutual gravity.

A megaparsec is a million parsecs and there are about 3.3 light years in a mega-parsec. Parsec is rather a natural distance unit for astronomers. The standard abbreviation of a mega-parsec is Mpc.

A parsec is approximately 3.09 x 1016 meters, a megaparsec is about 3.09 x 1022 meters.

Hence, 8 megaparsecs is gigantic size and that can be only of a galaxy cluster consisting of hundreds and thousands of galaxies bounded together.

Keywords: galaxies, parsec, megaparsec, galaxy cluster

A large sheet of charge has a uniform charge density of 9  μCm2. What is the electric field due to this charge at a point just
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Explanation:

Surface charge density, σ = 9 μC/m² = 9 x 10^-6 C/m²

According to the Gauss theorem,

Electric field due to the sheet is given by

E = \frac {\sigma }{2\epsilon _{0}}

E = \frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{2\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}}

E = 5.08 x 10^5 N/C

An object has an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. If the net force was doubled and the mass was one-third the original value, then the
alexandr402 [8]

Hahahahaha. Okay.

So basically , force is equal to mass into acceleration.

F=ma

so when F=ma , we get acceleration=6m/s/s

Force is doubled.

Mass is 1/3 times original.

2F=1/3ma

Now , we rearrange , and we get 6F=ma

So , now for 6 times the original force , we get 6 times the initial acceleration.

So new acceleration = 6*6= 36m/s/s
