Light year is the distance traveled by light in one year. 1 light year = 9.4607x10^12km. So 150 light years = 150x9.4607 x 10^12 = 1.419x10^15km = 1.419 x 10^18 m. Therefore, time = distance/speed = 1.419 x 10^18/3 x 10^8 = 4730000000s. Hope it helps.

Answer:

$V_ k = 3 m/s$

Explanation:

Using the conservation of the linear momentum P:

$P_i = P_f$

so:

$M_kV_k = M_sV_s$

where $M_k$ is the mass of kevin, $V_k$ is the velocity of kevin before he grabs her brother, $M_s$ is the velocity of her brother and him after grabs her brother and $V_s$ is the velocity of both after the collition.
