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.

An 800-g block of ice at 0.00°C is resting in a large bath of water at 0.00°C insulated from the environment. After an entropy c
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Unmeltedd ice = 308.109 g

Explanation:

Gibbs Free energy:

A systems Gibbs Free Energy is defined as the free energy of the product of the absolute temperature and the entropy change less than the enthalpy change.

Therefore, G = ΔH-TΔS

where G is Gibbs Free Energy

          ΔH is enthalpy change

          T is absolute temperature

          ΔS is entropy change

Here since there is a phase change, therefore G will be 0.

∴ΔH = TΔS

Given: Temperature, T = 0°C = 273 K

           Entropy change,ΔS = 600 J/K

           Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 J/g

∴ΔH = TΔS

  ∴ΔH = 273 x 600

           = 163800 J

So this is the amount of enthalpy that will be used into melting of ice.

  ∴ΔH = mass of ice melted x latent heat of fusion of water

    Mass of ice melted = ΔH / latent heat of fusion of water

                                     = 163800 / 333

                                     = 491.891 g

This is the mass of ice melted.

And initial amount of ice is 800 g

Amount of ice left after melting = Initial amount of ice - amount of ice melted

                                                   = 800-491.891

                                                  = 308.109 g

Amount of ice remained after melting = 308.109 g

A wave passes along the surface of the water in a ripple tank. Describe the motion of a molecule on the surface as the water pas
laila [671]

Answer:

Explanation:

Water waves are generally a transverse wave which do not cause permanent displacement of molecules of the medium. Transverse waves are waves in which the direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium.

As the wave propagates from one point to another on the surface of water transferring energy, a molecule of water on its surface vibrates upwards and downwards. Its motion is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. After the vibration, it comes back to its initial position.
