Answer:

An object can have a displacement in the absence of any external force acting on it

Explanation:

When a object moves with a constant velocity (v), then it gets displaced in the direction of motion but the net external force experienced by the object is zero.

F  external  =ma

If object moves with constant velocity, acceleration is zero.

Since, a=0  ⟹F  external  =0

Using  s=ut+  1/2 at  ^2

 ⟹    Displacement    s=ut    (∵a=0)

Hence, an object can have a displacement in the absence of any external force acting on it

Hope this helped you:)

How high was a brick dropped from if if falls in 2.5 seconds?
jenyasd209 [6]
Using the kinematic equation d =  V_0 * t  + 1/2 * a * t^2, where d is height you can rewrite this to be d = 1/2*g*t^2 or 4.9t^2
g = a because this is a free fall 
d = 1/2 * 9.81m/s^2 * 2.5^2
d = 30.65625m
d = 30.7m

Why might some rivers form canyons and other form valleys??
kap26 [50]

Valleys are one of the most common landforms on the Earth and they are formed through erosion or the gradual wearing down of the land by wind and water. In river valleys ​for example, the river acts as an erosional agent by grinding down the rock or soil and creating a valley
