Two different objects are 3 meters from the reference point on a graph and share the same y-coordinate.

Using an unmanned rocket to visit the space station requires 85.2 trillion BTU of energy. The best fuel for the mission will hav

Illusion [34]

We shall convert all of the densities to lbs/gal, so the product of
BTU/lbs and lbs/gal gives us the basis of comparison, which was "ratio of energy to volume".
grams / ml x 1 lbs/454 grams → 1 lbs/ 454 ml
1 lbs/454 ml x 3785.41 ml/gal → 3785.41 lbs/454gal
Conversion of g/ml = 8.34 lbs/gal
Looking at each fuel:

Kerosene:
18,500 x (8.34 x 0.82) = 126,517 BTU/gal

Gasoline:
20,900 x (8.34 x 0.737) = 128,463 BTU/gal

Ethanol:
11,500 x (8.34 x 0.789) = 75,673 BTU/gal

Hydrogen:
61,000 x (8.34 x 0.071) = 36,120 BTU/gal

The best fuel in terms of energy to volume ratio is Gasoline.
Gallons required:
BTU needed / BTU per gallon
= 85.2 x 10⁹ / 128,463
= 6.6 x 10⁵ gallons

At t = 0, a particle starts at rest and moves along a line in such a way that, at time t, its acceleration is 24t 2 ft / s2. thr

svp [43]

The acceleration of the particle at time t is:
$a(t)=24t^2 ft/s^2$
The velocity of the particle at time t is given by the integral of the acceleration a(t):
$v(t)= \int a(t) \, dt = \int (24 t^2) dt=24 \frac{t^3}{3}=8t^3 ft/s$
and the position of the particle at time t is given by the integral of the velocity v(t):
$x(t)=\int v(t) = \int (8t^3)=8 \frac{t^4}{4}=2t^4 ft$

Assuming the particle starts from position x(0)=0 at t=0, the distance the particle covers in the first t=2 seconds can be found by substituting t=2 s in the equation of x(t):
$x(2 s)=2 t^4 = 2 (2s)^4=32 ft$

Imagine that Kevin can instantly transport himself between Planet X and Planet Y. Which statement could be said about Kevin in t

Over [174]

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.
