Explanation:

The SI unit of power is the kilogram-meter2 per second cubed, which is called the watt (1 W = 1 kg-m2/s3). Since power is the energy used per unit of time, it is derived as the energy/time quotient.

Kelvin is a fundamental unit! It's a lot easier to measure temperature than to measure the motion of component particles. Hence, we can accept it as a fundamental quantity. Time is said to be a fundamental unit because it is not dependent on one or more units

a radio controlled car rolls 10 m south then reverses direction and rolls 8 m north the car traveled a distance of 18 m and has

EastWind [94]

The displacement is 2 m south

Explanation:

Distance and displacement are two different quantities:

Distance is the total length of the path covered by an object during its motion, regardless of the direction. It is a scalar quantity
Displacement is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion of an object. The magnitude of the displacement is the distance in a straight line between the two points

For the car in this problem, the motion is:

10 m south

8 m north

Taking north as positive direction, we can describe the two parts of the motion as

$d_1 = -10 m$
