1- displacement 2- acceleration 3- velocity Am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what those things are (displacement, velocity, acceleration and vector)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, i can see by your answer you probably don't.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you please elaborate then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do know what is a vector

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a displacement vector points to where the object is at a certain time. a velocity vector points to which direction it is moving at a certain time. an acceleration vector points to the general direction you will be going shortly, or the direction in which you want to change your velocity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 = displacement 2 = acceleration 1 = velocity right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the vector 3 is pointing towards graph whereas vector 1 is telling where its heading

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and do you see vector 2 is pointing in the direction where the particle move soon after?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly, so acceleration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am I right? :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow, that was easy, thanks man :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Last question: do we have any information about the speed? Ans: No, since no value at x or y? is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you really don't... you could compute the length of the vector (if you had coordinates) but without the units you really couldn't say.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what was easy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly, thanks man :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're welcome!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, quite easy :)
