The rate at which a force displaces a mass a horizontal distance is measured in? a. watts b. newtons c. joules d. time

c. joules

Explanation:

The rate at which a force displaces a mass a horizontal distance is measured in joules. In science, this phenomenon is known as work done.

Work done can be defined as the rate at which a force acting on an object or a body causes it to experience a displacement. The work done is a scalar quantity and is measured in joules (J).

Mathematically, work done is given by the formula;

Work done = force * distance

For example, a bull pulling a plough through a farm, a girl pushing a shopping cart down the aisle of a supermarket etc.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
