I say in space which is number A. That is because there is nothing that would restrict anything in space and it is quite open and free. Hope this helped.

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

omeli [17]

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.)

A person is standing on an elevator initially at rest at the first floor of a high building. The elevator then begins to ascend

Answer:

The found acceleration in terms of h and t is:

$a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}$

Explanation:

(The complete question is given in the attached picture. We need to find the acceleration in terms of h and t in this question)

We are given 3 stages of movement of elevator. We'll first model them each of the stage one by one to find the height covered in each stage. After that we'll find the total height covered by adding heights covered in each stage, and equate it to Total height h. From that we can find the formula for acceleration.

<h3></h3><h3>Stage 1</h3>

Constant acceleration, starts from rest.

Distance = $y = \frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2$

Velocity = $v_1=at_1$

<h3>Stage 2</h3>

Constant velocity where

Velocity = $v_o=v_1=at_1$

Distance =

<h3> $y_2=v_2(t_2)\\\text{Where~}t_2=4t_1 ~\text{and}~ v_2=v_1=at_1\\y_2=(at_1)(4t_1)\\y_2=4a(t_1)^2\\$ </h3><h3 /><h3>Stage 3</h3>

Constant deceleration where

Velocity = $v_0=v_1=at_1$

Distance =

$y_3=v_1t_3-\frac{1}{2}a(t_3)^2\\\text{Where}~t_3=t_1\\y_3=v_1t_1-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Where}~ v_1t_1=a(t_1)^2\\y_3=a(t_1)^2-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Subtracting both terms:}\\y_3=\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2$

<h3>Total Height</h3>

Total height = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

Total height = $\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2+4a(t_1)^2+\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2 = 5a(t_1)^2$

<h3 /><h3>Acceleration</h3>

Find acceleration by rearranging the found equation of total height.

Total Height = h

h = 5a(t₁)²

$a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}$

A vinyl record is played by rotating the record so that an approximately circular groove in the vinyl slides under a stylus. Bum

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Hits per second=199 hit/s

Explanation:

#Given the angular velocity, $\omega=33\frac{1}{3} rev/min$ , radius of the record $r=0.1m$ and the distance between any two successive bumps on the groove as $d=1.75mm$ .
