- An ion's position vector is initially 7 = (-3,9 m )i + (-8.6 m )j + (-3.4 m )k, and 9.3 s later it is 7 = (-2.6 m )i + (7.3 m )ĵ + (1.0 m )R. In unit-vector notation, what is its average velocity during the 9.3 s? Number i k Units m/sarrow_forwardThe acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.67 m/s2. If a person can throw a stone 12.0 m straight upward on the earth, how high should the person be able to throw a stone on the moon? Assume that the throwing speeds are the same in the two cases.arrow_forwardIn 20 minutes, Kara ran 2.40 km on a treadmill facing due east. Relative to the gym, what were her displacement and average velocity during this time interval?
