Question

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

Answer 1

Displacement refers to how far out of place an object is. So if the cat jumps a meter forward, than crawls back .2 meters, the cat is .8 meters out of place

Answer 2

I think its 0.8m because 1+(-0.2)=0.8
