If scientists could create a sheet of glass with a refractive index so high that it took light months or years to travel through

Wow ! They could set up sheets of "slow glass" beside beautiful forests with rivers and squirrels and deer and grassy fields, and load a year of this scene into the glass, and then sell it to people who live next to dirty brick walls or ugly empty lots, and those people could install the slow glass in their windows and have beautiful scenery, until it all worked its way out of the glass.

This is a great idea ! If you possibly can, find and read the sci-fi short story "Light of Other Days" written by Bob Shaw, published in Analog Science Fiction in 1966. It's all about this exact type of glass. I read this story in 1966 and I never forgot it ! (Not yet anyway.)

Answer:

6.77 m/s

Explanation:

First, in the x direction:

Given:

Δx = 3.17 m

v₀ = v cos 30.8° = 0.859 v

a = 0 m/s²

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(3.17 m) = (0.859 v) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

3.17 = 0.859 v t

3.69 = v t

Next, in the y direction:

Given:

Δy = 0.432 m

v₀ = v sin 30.8° = 0.512 v

a = -9.81 m/s²

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(0.432 m) = (0.512 v) t + ½ (-9.81 m/s²) t²

0.432 = 0.512 v t − 4.905 t²

Two equations, two variables.  Solve for t in the first equation and substitute into the second equation:

t = 3.69 / v

0.432 = 0.512 v (3.69 / v) − 4.905 (3.69 / v)²

0.432 = 1.89 − 66.8 / v²

66.8 / v² = 1.458

v² = 45.8

v = 6.77

Why is venus the hottest planet in the solar system
mr Goodwill [35]

Venus is the hottest world in the solar system. Although Venus is not the planet closest to the sun, its dense atmosphere traps heat in a runaway version of the greenhouse effect that warms Earth.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: justice

Explanation:

The Belmont Report refers to a report that was published 25 year ago, focusing on the ethical treatment and protection of participants in medical and behavioral research. This report centers around 3 principles:

1. Beneficence- striving to maximize benefits for participants of the research study and minimizing any harms/ risks that might occur.

2. Justice- The fair selection of potential participants for a study. This ensures equitable and fair distribution of risks/ benefits to all potential participants of a research study. Subjects of a study must not be chosen merely out of convenience or easy access. The inclusion/ exclusion criteria should be chosen according to the nature of the study and steps/ treatments that it will involve.

3. Respect for persons- Each participant of a research study should be  able to provide informed consent prior to their participation, protected from controllable harm and treated with respect.

Therefore, moral requirement that there be fair outcomes in the selection of research subjects, expresses the principle of justice.

In vertebrates, most of the fluid that ultimately exits the body as urine first enters the nephron tubules by the process of ___
Talja [164]
The water and solutes the first enters the nephron tubules undergo a process just before it exits the body as a urine. This process is called filtration. It operates when 20 percent of the solution volume is filtered in the renal corpuscle at a given time. It is reportedly stated that there are around 180 liters of this fluid being filtered by the kidney every day.
