An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west. It starts at the 6-inch mark, crawls to the 19-inch mark, then moves to the 7-inch mark. What was the total distance the ant traveled?

it moves 25 inches.

Explanation:

the east west bit isn't important, ignore it. if an ant starts at 6 then moves to 19 then we need to subtract 19 from 6, that's 13. then it moves to 7. the difference between 19 and 7 is 12. add that to 13 and you get 25. it's important to remember that there is no such thing as negative distance. if it moved, then it counts.

thermal energy is the answer

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
