Question

A cat jumps 1 m forward, then crawls 0.2 m backward. What is the displacement of the cat?

Answer 1

.8 meters forward is your answer hope this helps

Answer 2

Displacement is defined as the overall change in the position of the object or how far out of place the object became.

So, if the cat jumps 1 meter forwards and then crawls meters backwards, this means that the overall change in the cat's position is 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 meters forward.

Based on the above, the displacement of the cat is 0.8 meters forward
