For this physics post I will be explaining the picture I took of an ant. This picture relates to physics because you can make a distance over time graph of an ant's movements. An example would be this ant who was crawling from the edge of my bed to my laptop which is about 4 feet. It took the ant about 2 minutes to make this journey. If you plotted this on a graph, you could see that the ant's average speed was about 2 feet/minute (0.023 miles/hour). But, he was not constantly walking this speed. He took several breaks on his trip. During this time his speed was zero. That means his speed in the time that he wasn't taking breaks must have been more than 2 feet/minute.
Haha, funny that you actually calculated it's movement. But also very observant, since we aren't the only moving/living things in this world. Nice. :D
