First, when the student added the layers of wax over each other, this became a representation of sedimentary rocks.
Then the student folded his/her palm and squeezed the layers of wax. This means that the student applied heat and pressure on the wax (sedimentary rocks)
Referring to the diagram below which represents the rock cycle, we will find that applying heat and pressure on sedimentary rocks would convert these rocks into metamorphic rocks.
Based on the above, the best choice would be:<span>d. Heat and pressure can change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.</span>
Vf = 0 + 3.5•8.7
= 30.45 m/s
<span>Good Morning!
The scientific advance that launched an ethical alert in the scientific community was the possibility of cloning animals, since it presents important questions, especially if such a project is extended to humans.

The average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.
The correct answer is option D.
In the given graph, we can deduce the following;
- the total time of the motion, = 1 mins + 45 s = 60 s + 45 s = 105 s
The average speed of the ant is calculated as;

The total distance from the graph is calculated as follows;
- first horizontal distance from 2 cm to 8 cm = 8 - 2 = 6 cm
- first upward distance from 3 cm to 5 cm = 5 - 3 = 2 cm
- second horizontal distance from 8 cm to 6 cm = 8 - 6 = 2 cm
- second upward distance from 5 cm to 12 cm = 12 - 5 = 7 cm
- third horizontal distance from 6 cm to 13 cm = 13 - 6 = 7 cm
- fourth downward distance from 12 cm to 9 cm = 3 cm
- final horizontal distance from 13 cm to 15 cm = 2cm
The total distance = (6 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 2) cm = 29 cm

The average velocity is calculated as the change in displacement per change in time.
The displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end positions.
- This shortest distance is the straight line connecting the start and end position. Call this line P
- From the end position at x = 15 cm, draw a vertical line from y = 9 cm, to y = 3 cm. The displacement = 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm
- Also, draw a horizontal line from start at x = 2 cm to x = 15 cm. The displacement = 15 cm - 2 cm = 13 cm
Notice, you have a right triangle, now calculate the length of line P.

Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for P.

The average velocity of the ant is calculated as;

Thus, the average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.
