An astronaut orbits earth in the space shuttle. in one complete orbit is the magnitude of the displacement the same as the distance traveled?

Explanation:

The displacement of the astronaut orbiting the Earth in a space shuttle will be zero .

Since ,

Displacement is determined by initial position and the final position of an object .

The distance traveled by the astronaut is a circular pathway ,

hence ,

The displacement of the astronaut is equal to zero as he arrives at the exact same position from where he started his journey .

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.
