Complete Question
A proton is located at <3 x 10^{-10}, -5*10^{-10} , -5*10^{-10}> m. What is r, the vector from the origin to the location of the proton
Answer:
The vector position is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The position of the proton is
Generally the vector location of the proton is mathematically represented as

So substituting values

Answer: 586.60N/m
Explanation:
In this scenario, the elastic potential energy of the spring is converted into potential energy.
0.5*K*x^2 = mgh
Thus K = 2mgh/x^2
=(2*2.90*10^-2*9.8*7.23)/(8.37*10^-2)^2
=586.599
Therefore K = 586.60N/m
The only 'difference' is that they are different categories.
It's like asking "What's the difference between Susie and girl ?"
Or "What's the difference between Cadillac and car ?"
Displacement <em>IS</em> a vector quantity.
A its Stratosphere, Sorry I didn't see your answer, its bilogy I think not physics.. :)
