Canadian, eh.

Solution:
Initial speed = 0.5c (half the speed of light) Deceleration = 34.56% per second
Let’s calculate the distance traveled by the right-most point of the object:
We’ll use the formula for distance under constant acceleration (or deceleration):
d = v0 * t + (1/2) * a * t^2
However, since the deceleration is given as a percentage, we’ll calculate the average speed over the time period.
Average speed = (initial speed + final speed) / 2
To find the final speed, we’ll calculate the speed at each second and then find the average.
Let’s simplify the calculation:
Speed reduction per second = 34.56% Final speed = 149,896.229 km/s * (1 - 0.3456)^45.23 ≈ 0 km/s (due to rapid deceleration)
Given the rapid deceleration, the object would likely come to a stop before 45.23 seconds. Let’s estimate the average speed:
Average speed ≈ (149,896.229 km/s + 0 km/s) / 2 ≈ 74,948.1145 km/s
Now, calculate the distance:
d = average speed * time ≈ 74,948.1145 km/s * 45.23 s ≈ 3,390,911 km
However, this calculation assumes constant deceleration and average speed. Given the complexity and rapid deceleration, this approximation might not be entirely accurate.
Considering the object’s length (2520 km), if the left-most point starts at point A, and the right-most point reaches point B after 45.23 seconds, the distance between points A and B would be approximately:
Distance ≈ d - object’s length ≈ 3,390,911 km - 2520 km ≈ 3,388,391 km
Keep in mind that this calculation involves approximations due to the complexity of the problem.
I can relate. It’s hard to tell but there are both cormorant and vultures in the tree.
In Canada, we have a few scenarios available but generally, even if you have to pay after your session, it is reimbursed by our health insurance.
We don’t pay up front, though.

You have the power, my fellow mortal. Be the change that you want to see.
This is the best description of what a Kyle is.
Literally, literally, had this conversation with my gf yesterday.
I just showed this to her and now we’re convinced we’re being watched.
Bring on the tinfoil hats! Lol
This is the one.
Good to know! I’m fairly new to the fediverse.
Accurate. She’s my second tortie and I don’t see myself getting other kinds of cats moving on. Their personality is really unique.
