In #8, the distance and the (magnitude of displacement) are equal, because he crawled in a straight line.

Displacement = (straight-line distance from start-point to end-point) in the direction from start to end, regardless of what route was actually followed.

Displacement = 5m, in the negative direction.

In #9 . . . distance will be the same. Displacement is going to be the same magnitude, but in the positive direction.

This is so simple that it's hard to talk about.

In #8, "What was the bug's distance ?". "Distance was 5 meters.". "What was the bug's displacement ?", "Displacement was 5 meters backwards."

In #9, What was the bug's distance ?". "Distance was 5 meters.". "What was the bug's displacement ?", "Displacement was 5 meters forward."

Liula [17]

Answer:

Yes it will move and a= 4.19m/s^2

Explanation:

In order for the box to move it needs to overcome the maximum static friction force

Max Static Friction = μFn(normal force)

plug in givens

Max Static friction = 31.9226

Since 36.6>31.9226, the box will move

Mass= Wieght/g which is 45.8/9.8= 4.67kg

Fnet = Fapp-Fk

= 36.6-16.9918

=19.6082

=ma

Solve for a=4.19m/s^2

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: D. 0.57

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the eccentricity $e$ of an ellipse is (assuming the moon's orbit in the shape of an ellipse):

$e=\frac{r_{a}-r_{p}}{r_{a}+r_{p}}$

Where:

$r_{a}$ is the apoapsis (the longest distance between the moon and its planet)

$r_{p}=0.27 r_{a}$ is the periapsis (the shortest distance between the moon and its planet)

Then:

$e=\frac{r_{a}-0.27 r_{a}}{r_{a}+0.27 r_{a}}$

$e=\frac{0.73 r_{a}}{1.27 r_{a}}$

$e=0.57$ This is the moon's orbital eccentricity
