Geri chairs and Medical Recliners are designed to allow someone to get out of the confines of their bed and be able to sit comfortably in a variety of positions while being fully supported. This type of medical seating nurtures a patient's independence and improves their quality of life significantly.
According to the new measurements, a snake can lunge forward about half a foot in only 70 milliseconds. Faced with such speed, a lot of prey won't stand a chanceâalthough some animals are closely matched, such as the kangaroo rat. But even if an animal can react in time, they might not be able to accelerate enough to escape. Snakes are evolved to be very fast, Clark says.
In addition, planets farther from the Sun move more slowly. Pluto, for example, goes about 40 times as far in its trip around the Sun as we do. It takes Pluto 250 years to travel once around, so its average speed is 40/250 or 16% of Earth's speed around the Sun. The Moonâs motion changes the fastest of any body we can see.
