Answer:
Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes.
Above question is incomplete. Complete question is
<span>What is the missing number in the nuclear reaction 175 78 pt -- 4 2 He plus 76 Os?
....................................................................................................................
Solution:
Reaction involved in present nuclear event is
</span>175 78 Pt → 4 2 He + 76 Os
In above nuclear reaction, atomic mass number of Os is missing. The atomic mass number of Os = 175 - 4 = 171
Thus, complete nuclear can be written as
175 78 Pt → 4 2 He + 171 76 Os
