Distance = 400 m, Displacement = 400 m in the direction of the straight line.
The black squirrel has zero kinetic energy (if it's not moving) and lower gravitational potential energy than the red squirrel or zero gravitational potential energy if the ground is assumed to be zero gravitational potential line.
Answer:
The direction of the contact forces acting on a body is not necessarily perpendicular to the contact surface. The resolution of contact forces in two components i.e. perpendicular to contact surface and along surface. Perpendicular component is normal force and parallel component is friction.
Explanation:
