mr. b has a hankering for jbc, as is common. he leaves his house and drives 5 miles 45 degrees northwest, 3 miles north, then 4 miles 15 degrees northwest to his closest wendys. determine his total displacement relative to his home.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.

earth's neighboring galaxy, the andromeda galaxy, is a distance of 2.54×107 light-years from earth. if the lifetime of a human is taken to be 70.0 years, a spaceship would need to achieve some minimum speed min to deliver a living human being to this galaxy.
