Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be <u>80cm</u>.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is <u>20 cm.</u>

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)

Answer:

Distance = 80cm

Displacement = 20cm

Explanation:

Distance does not depend on direction, its the total amount traveled.

Displacement has a direction. Displacement is how far your stopping point is from the beginning point.

The ant could have walked 50cm to the east, stopped and turned around, walked 50cm to the west, walking a total distance of 100cm, but the displacement would be 0 because he ended up at the same spot that he started. It can get much more complicated than this, but this is a good start.

The heat vaporization for methyl alcohol is 1100 kj/kg. It is 2257 KJ/Kg for water. Thus means that______________.
dusya [7]

Answer: B) Methyl alcohol requires less than half as much energy per kg to evaporate than water does

Explanation:

Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to convert 1 kilo gram of liquid into its vapor state without change in its temperature.

Heat of vaporization is more for water than for methyl alcohol which means more heat is required to convert from liquid to vapour form.

As the Heat of vaporization for methyl alcohol  (1100) is almost half as that of Heat of vaporization for water (2257) , it means  Methyl alcohol requires less than half as much energy per kg to evaporate than water does.

Which are ways to improve the design of this experiment? Check all that apply.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

* Experiment with a higher range of materials

* Use a galvanometer.

* Vary in number of coils of the electromagnet

Explanation:

This is an experiment of electricity and magnetism, in general the best way to improve the results are:

* Experiment with a higher range of materials

   allowing to know the scope of the initial assumptions

* Use a galvanometer.

  The more accurate the readings the error of the derived quantities is the less which will improve the precision of the experiment.

* Vary in number of coils of the electromagnet

  Since it allows to have greater magnetic fields and therefore expand the range of measurements
