Question

1. kennedy walks 8 miles north, rests for 15 minutes, and then 6 miles north. what is kennedys displacement?

29 miles north
2 miles north
14 miles north
1 mile south

Explanation:

Step1: Understand displacement

Displacement is the straight - line distance from the starting point to the ending point.

Step2: Analyze the direction and distances

Kennedy walks 8 miles north and then 6 miles north. Since both movements are in the same direction (north), we add the magnitudes.
The total displacement \(d = 8+6\) miles.

Step3: Calculate the displacement

\(d=14\) miles north.

Answer:

C. 14 miles north
