A displacement is a vector quantity that takes into account the shortest distance from the starting point to the endpoint.
The given above gave a time interval in minutes which needs to be converted to seconds. Given that each minute is 60 seconds, 5 minutes equal 300 seconds. To determine the distance, multiply time with speed. The product is 225 m.
Thus, the displacement is 225 m.
Newton's 2nd law says: Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .
I wrote Force and acceleration in bold letters because
they're both vectors ... they have size and direction.
The equation is saying that the Force and the acceleration
are both in the same direction.

Option b is the answer
Answer:
In the air
Explanation:
There are three states of matter:
- Solids: in solids, the particles are tightly bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so they cannot move freely - they can only vibrate around their fixed position
- Liquids: in liquids, particles are more free to move, however there are still some intermolecular forces keeping them close to each other
- Gases: in gases, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible
For this reason, it is generally easier to compress/expand the volume of a gas with respect to the volume of a liquid.
In this problem, we are comparing water (which is a liquid) with air (which is a gas). From what we said above, this means that the change in volume is larger in the air rather than in the water.
All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. A molecule is two atoms joined together. A compound is two different atoms joined together.
