During 9.97 seconds a motorcyclist changes his velocity from v1,x = -36.5 m/s and v1,y = 10.9 m/s to v2,x =-21.9 m/s and v2,y = 27.5 m/s. find the components of the motorcycle\'s average acceleration during this process, aav, x and aav, y.

Average acceleration is defined as

here

now for x direction we can say

Similarly for Y direction

so above is the acceleration in x and y directions

an ion is a charged atom or molecule. it is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. an atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom.
