A cat walks 14 m in the positive direction on a number line, then turns around and walks 5 m in the opposite direction. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the cat? A. 9 m B. 14 m C. 19 m D. 24 m

The answer is

A. 9 m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

1. A cat walks 14 m in a positive direction.

2. Walks 5 m in the opposite direction.

Step two:

"The displacement can be defined as a quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is, it is the object's overall change in position."

Hence the displacement is= 14-5= 9m

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.

i really dont know but i will try okay.

so i think u would just add all them up and get your answer..
