Aquarterback back pedals 3.3 meters southward and then runs 5.7 meters northward. for this motion, what is the distance moved? what is the magnitude and direction of the displacement?

The distance moved is 9 meters

The magnitude of the displacement is 2.4 meters

The direction of the displacement is northward

Explanation:

- Distance is the length of the actual path between the initial and the

  final position. Distance is a scalar quantity

- Displacement is the change in position, measuring from its starting

  position to the final position. Displacement is a vector quantity

The quarterback pedals 3.3 meters southward

That means it moves down 3.3 meters

Then runs 5.7 meters northward

That means it runs up 5.7 meters

The distance = 3.3 + 5.7 = 9 meters

The distance moved is 9 meters

It moves southward (down) for 3.3 meters and then moves northward

(up) for 5.7

It moves from zero to 3.3 down and then moves up to 5.7

The displacement = 5.7 - 3.3 = 2.4 meters northward

The magnitude of the displacement is 2.4 meters

The direction of the displacement is northward

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.

i would say
