Why is it better to give the actual speed of an object rather than to simply say it moved fast or it moved slowly

Specificity. It’s really loose to say that something is fast, since speed can be scalarly linked and relative. I could say that both a car on the highway is fast, but so is the speed of light. The actual speed of something helps to do away with the arbitrary nature of using “fast” and “slow”; however, we’re still at step one of the person who is receiving the information is unfamiliar with the scale that the actual speed is defined in.

Imagine that instead of balls, you were rolling positively charged ions of the same element).

Ghella [55]

The ion with a +3 charge would be deflected the most by the magnet because it has the strongest positive charge therefore it will be the one being the most repelled. and the ion that would be deflected the least would be the ion with a +1 charge because it has the least amount of charge so the magnet will still repel it but just not as much as it will repel the ion with a +3 charge.

hope that helps
