Answer:

Just as distance and displacement have distinctly different meanings (despite their similarities), so do speed and velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. Contrast this to a slow-moving object that has a low speed; it covers a relatively small amount of distance in the same amount of time. An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.

<em>The car is accelerating</em> (during the short time that it's turning from East to North).

ANY change in speed or direction of motion is acceleration.  Since the car is changing direction, it is accelerating, even though its speed is constant.

When you push with a horizontal 15-N force on a book that slides at constant
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

f = 15 N

Explanation:

It is given that, when you push with a horizontal 15-N force on a book that slides at constant  velocity, a frictional force also acts on it. Frictional force is an opposing force. The magnitude of applied force and frictional forces are same. So, the force of friction on the book is equal to 15 N.

Why are the parts of an atom that electronic occupy called electron clouds
kakasveta [241]
They are called electron clouds because, 1) they are made up of electrons and 2) when seen in certain microscopes and in theory they look like clouds. Now I'm going to explain 2 in more detail. The cloud part is derived from the fact that what we think of electron orbits being defined circular orbits is false. The motion of electrons in an atom is undefined and unclear, but remains in a certain area- the electron cloud. When you hear the term, electron orbital, that is just the area in which you should expect to find an electron about 90% of the time.
