Hi!

When we're looking at a basic overview of a change in position, this is known as <em>displacement. </em>Displacement is a vector quantity, compared to distance, which is a scalar quantity.

What this means is that displacement is focusing on magnitude <em>and </em>direction<em />, instead of just the magnitude. 

Hopefully, this helps! =)

That's "displacement". It only depends on the beginning and ending locations, and doesn't care about the route between them.

The astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet Eris suggests there might be another object far beyond the Kupier belt. If this P
PolarNik [594]

These objects would be classified as extreme trans Neptunian object (ETNO).

Explanation:

ETNO’s are the objects lying beyond the planet Neptune and orbiting the Sun. They follow a highly eccentric path which is tilted. ETNO has been grouped into three major according to their respective perihelia.  

Within this region (beyond Neptune’s orbit), a hypothetical planet has been discovered. It was discovered following its gravitational effect on the other objects of Kuiper Belt (region beyond the orbit of the Neptune- the last planet of our Solar system)

The Planet is assumed to be around 2 times the Earth’s size and around 10 times heavier than Earth.

ratelena [41]
1. The balls move to the opposite direction but the same speed. This represents Newton's third law of motion.
2. The total momentum before and after the collision stays constant or is conserved.
3. If the masses were the same, the velocities of both balls after the collision would exchange.
4 and 5. Use momentum balance to solve for the final velocities.

1. Which Law? When you are standing up in a subway train, and the train suddenly stops, your body continues to go forward.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

1. Law 1, since there is no other force acting on your body as you stand there, so you will continue to go forward.

2. Law 3, since the swimmer is using opposite forces to propel herself through the water. She generates a force by pushing the water which helps to push her forward.

3. Law 2, since you are giving the motorcycle more energy as a result of the gas being transformed into the energy that helps to accelerate the motorcycle's speed.
