Yes. Displacement is a vector, as opposed to distance, which is a scalar. Since displacement is a vector quantity, the negative sign represents direction. As with velocity and acceleration, it just comes down to how you define your coordinate system

The atomic mass of an element whose atoms consist of seven protons, eight neutrons, and seven electrons is _____?
vodomira [7]
The atomic mass is C. 15

Atomic mass = P + N = 7+8 = 15

The atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of the protons and neutrons. On the other hand, the atomic number of a neutral element is equivalent to the number of protons or electrons. This is because a neutral element should have equal number of protons and electrons.

A train is traveling at a speed of 80km/h when the conductor applies the brakes. The train slows with a constant acceleration of
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

d = 493.72 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the train, u = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

Acceleration of the train, a = -0.5 m/s² (negative as it slows down)

Finally brakes are applied, v = 0

We need to find the distance the train travels. Let the distance be d. Using third equation of kinematics to find it.

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{0^2-(22.22)^2}{2\times (-0.5)}\\\\d=493.72\ m

So, the required distance is equal to 493.72 m.
