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.

rewona [7]

Answer:

v = 9.07 m/s

the vertical component of the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.07 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 4.6 m/s

Initial horizontal velocity uh = 4.6 m/s

Initial vertical velocity uy = 0

Height to fall d = 4.2 m

Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

The final vertical velocity of the fish when it hits the water can be calculated using the equation of motion;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v^2 = uy^2 + 2gd

uy = 0

v^2 = 2gd

v = √(2gd)

Substituting the given values;

v = √(2×9.8×4.2)

v = 9.073036977771 m/s

v = 9.07 m/s

the vertical component of the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.07 m/s

Use Coulomb’s law to derive the dimension for the permittivity of free space. <br><br><br><br>​
Paraphin [41]

Answer: M^-1 L^-3T^4A^2

Explanation:

From coloumb's law

K = q1q2 / (F × r^2)

Where;

q1, q2 = charges

k = constant (permittivity of free space)

r = distance

Charge (q) = current(A) × time(T) = TA

THEREFORE,

q1q2 = (TA) × (TA) = (TA)^2

Velocity = Distance(L) / time(T) = L/T

Acceleration = change in Velocity(L/T) / time (T)

Therefore, acceleration = LT^-2

Force(F) = Mass(M) × acceleration (LT^-2)

Force(F) = MLT^-2

Distance(r^2) = L^2

From ; K = q1q2 / (F × r^2)

K = (TA)^2 / (MLT^-2) (L^2)

K = T^2A^2M^-1L^-1T^2 L^-2
