Kinematics

What is the total displacement, in meters, for this graph of an object moving along a linear path?

• 0m
• 12m positive
• 12m negative
• 24m

Answer explanation

Jupiter is a gas giant made primarily of hydrogen and helium. Unlike terrestrial planets that have solid surfaces, gas giants like Jupiter don't have a well-defined solid surface, allowing them to accumulate more mass in a gaseous form. This composition has allowed Jupiter to grow significantly larger than planets with solid surfaces.
