The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:

$x=r\cos\theta$

The vertical component is calculated by:

$y=r\sin\theta$

The hiker has a displacement with magnitude r = 20.51 m at an angle of 33.16 degrees. Substituting in the above equation:

$y=20.51\sin(33.16^\circ)$

$y=11.22\ m$

The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters

l o which of the following can move from one atom to another A. protons Msideus. B. neutrons C. electrons the nucleus

Tanzania [10]

Electrons can move from one atom to another.

When a lot of them are doing it at the same time,
you have an electric current.

We asked around here at Brainly, and nobody knows
what an "Msideus" is, but we all know that there aren't
any of them in atoms.
