Answer:

The train's displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Given data,

The time taken by the train from NY to Washington and back is, t = 6 h 5 min

The distance between the two stations is, d = 363 km

Therefore, the total distance the train traveled is, d' = 726 km

The displacement is defined as the change in position coordinates with respect to its original position.

If the train travels from one point and returns back to the same point after some time, there is no change in the position coordinates with respect to its original position.

Hence, the train's displacement is zero.

Kepler deduced this law of motion from observations of Mars. What information confirms his conclusion that the orbit of Mars is
Leno4ka [110]

Kepler noticed an imaginary line drawn from a planet to the Sun and this line swept out an equal area of space in equal times, If we then draw a triangle out from the Sun to a planet’s position at one point in time, it is notice that the area doesn't change even after the planet has left the original position say like after 2 to 3days or 2hours. So to have same area of triangle means that the the planet move faster when that are closer to the sun and slowly when they are far from the sun.

This led to Kepler's law of orbital motion.

First Law: Planetary orbits are elliptical with the sun at a focus.

Second Law: The radius vector from the sun to a planet sweeps equal areas in equal times.

Third Law: The ratio of the square of the period of revolution and the cube of the ellipse semi-major axis is the same for all planets.

It is this Kepler's law that makes Newton to come up with his own laws on how planet moves the way they do.
