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

A skier starting from rest skis straight down a slope 50 meters long in 5.0 seconds. What is the magnitude of the acceleration.
3241004551 [841]
His average speed all the way is

                   (50 meters) / (5 sec)  =  10 m/s .

But, if the acceleration is uniform all the way down, then

            Average speed  =  (1/2) (start speed + end speed)

Start speed  =  0.
So
             Average speed  =  (1/2) (0 + end speed)

                                     =  (1/2) of end speed .

                   10 m/s        = (1/2) of end speed

               End speed (at the bottom)  =  20 m/s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

                                      =     (20 m/s)            /    (5 sec)

                                       =                4 m/s²  .

Hi!

Neutrons are neutral, which means they don't exactly have an electrical charge. It's because of this neutral charge that it is represented with a '0'. 

On the other hand, protons and electrons <em>do </em>have electrical charges. Electrons flow around the outside of the nucleus, with a negative charge.

Protons are stored in the nucleus with the neutrons, holding a positive charge.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

A bike travels at a constant speed of 4.0m/s for 5 seconds. How far it goes ?
alex41 [277]
The speed of 4m/s means that the bike goes 4 meters for each second of movement. Multiplying this by 5 seconds we have a total distance travelled of 20m.
