A baby bird leaves its nest and flies 5 miles north then 10 miles south. It took 1 hour total. a) What distance did it fly?
b) What is it's displacement (relative to the nest)
c) What is it's average speed for the trip?
d) what is it's average velocity for the trip?

answer: a) y=-8x+5

a) m= -8

b) m= -2

c) m= 7

d) m= 6

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.
