That is more of a History of English question.
Answer:
distance traveled is 15 mi
displacement is 5 mi
Explanation:
Distance takes time into account and adds up all the tiny displacements during the entire period of the trip.
Displacement ignores time and looks only at the change in position from the starting point to the ending point.
Complete question :
NASA is concerned about the ability of a future lunar outpost to store the supplies necessary to support the astronauts the supply storage area of the lunar outpost where gravity is 1.63m/s/s can only support 1 x 10 over 5 N. What is the maximum WEIGHT of supplies, as measured on EARTH, NASA should plan on sending to the lunar outpost?
Answer:
601000 N
Explanation:
Given that :
Acceleration due to gravity at lunar outpost = 1.6m/s²
Supported Weight of supplies = 1 * 10^5 N
Acceleration due to gravity on the earth surface = 9.8m/s²
Maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH :
Ratio of earth gravity to lunar post gravity:
(Earth gravity / Lunar post gravity) ;
(9.8 / 1.63) = 6.01
Hence, maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH should be :
6.01 * (1 × 10^5)
6.01 × 10^5
= 601000 N
How would you describe the behavior of particles in a solid?
