Transcribed Image Text:22. If a space shuttle orbits Earth
once, what is the shuttle's distance
traveled and displacement? *
Distance and displacement both are
zero.
Distance is circumference of the
O circular orbit while displacement is
zero.
Distance is zero while the
O displacement is circumference of
the circular orbit.
Distance and displacement both are
O equal to circumference of the
circular orbit.

Look at picturearrow_forward13.Earth and Jupiter both orbit the sun in orbits that are approximately constant speed circular motion (about the sun – with Jupiter of course further from the sun and with a much greater mass than Earth). Taking the orbits to be exactly circular, for which planet is the magnitude of its acceleration the greatest? a)earth B)Jupiter C)Actually, the magnitude of the acceleration for both is zero due to the orbits being constant speed orbits.arrow_forwardPlease help, thank youarrow_forward
