I have a strange hunch that there's some more material or previous work
that goes along with this question, which you haven't included here.
I can't easily find the dates of Mercury's extremes, but here's some of the
other data you're looking for:
Distance at Aphelion (point in it's orbit that's farthest from the sun):
<span><span><span><span><span>69,816,900 km
0. 466 697 AU</span>
</span>
</span>
</span>
<span>
Distance at Perihelion
(</span></span><span>point in it's orbit that's closest to the sun):</span>
<span><span><span><span>46,001,200 km
0.307 499 AU</span> </span>
Perihelion and aphelion are always directly opposite each other in
the orbit, so the time between them is 1/2 of the orbital period.
</span><span>Mercury's Orbital period = <span><span>87.9691 Earth days</span></span></span></span>
1/2 (50%) of that is 43.9845 Earth days
The average of the aphelion and perihelion distances is
1/2 ( 69,816,900 + 46,001,200 ) = 57,909,050 km
or
1/2 ( 0.466697 + 0.307499) = 0.387 098 AU
This also happens to be 1/2 of the major axis of the elliptical orbit.

Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The first option, the walker traveled 360m more than the actual distance between the start and the end points.
Why?
Since each block is 180 m long, we need to calculate the vertical and the horizontal distance, in order to calculate how farther did the travel walk between the start and the end points (displacement).
So, calculating we have:
Traveler:
Actual distance between the start and the end point (displacement):
Now, to calculate how much farter did the traveler walk, we need to use the following equation:
Therefore, we have that distance differnce between the distance covered by the walker and the actual distance is 360m.
Hence, we have that the walker traveled 360m more than the actual distance between the start point and the end point.
Have a nice day!
Well mostly because it's for oceans and lakes that have waves. so if you don't live near any of these, you wouldn't be getting power. <span />
Differentiation in its simplest of terms means breaking something into small parts. On the other hand, integration is taking those really small parts and gluing them in the right order. In short, these terms are the direct opposite or inverses of each other. The term which can tell you how fast you are going at a moment in time at ones current location is called a derivative. The term on the other hand, which can tell you how far you have travelled if you have been keeping track of your location and your time is what an integral is referred to. It is like differentiation only needs knowledge on the local neighbourhood while integration will need the knowledge on a global knowledge.
