The vector quantity that defines the distance and direction between two positions. It is a change in your position.

Physics

Answer:

  • <u><em>Displacement</em></u>

Explanation:

To describe the<em> change in position</em> you need to indicate the distance between the final and initial positions and the direction in which you moved. The distance is the magnitude.

The quantities that need both magnitude and direction to be described are named <em>vector quantities</em> or, just, vectors.

<em>The vector quantity that defines both the distance and direction between two positions </em>describes the <em>change in your position</em> and is named displacement. For instance, to indicate how you can goe to the supermarket from your house you cannot just say walk 2 miles. You need to indicate the direction; let's say 2 miles North. In this case, the displacement when you goe from your house to the supermarket is 2 miles North. And it is different of the displacement when you comeback from the supermarket to your house, because it would be 2 miles South.

A normal walking speed is around 2.0 m/s . how much time t does it take the box to reach this speed if it has the acceleration 5
creativ13 [48]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

a=5.54m/s^2

v(final velocity)=2 m/s

v=u +at

Where v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration.

t is the time

2=0+5.54t

t=2/5.54

t=0.36 sec

How dose an atom change if all of its electrons are removed
Anni [7]

Answer:

When all the electrons are removed from an atom, it becomes something as a positively charged particles also known as alpha particles.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The bare nucleus which is positively charged help in scattering experiments as it has high penetrating powers. <em>An atom is made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. We need huge energy to separate the electrons from their parent atom, still making it separated brings you a particle with a positive charge and only mass having high penetrating power. </em>
