An ant is taking a two-dimensional random walk on a flat surface. We will distinguish steps that the ant takes with its feet from the random walk (RW) steps, of length δ, which are made up of lots of footsteps. In a RW step, the ant choose a direction randomly and walks distance δ in that direction. She then choose another direction randomly and walks distance δ in that direction. She repeats this for a total of n RW steps. The surface conveniently has x- and y-coordinates drawn on it, so that we can monitor the ant’s progress along each direction, as well as the distance from the starting point.
The ant walks at a rate of 5 cm/min and normally walks for 30 s in each of its random walk steps.
At the end of each n RW steps, the ant takes a rest for a few minutes and then starts off on another random walk of n steps. Assuming that the ant completes a large number, N, of random walks, all the same, calculate the following:
The average (RMS) distance that the ant moves from the starting point of each walk.
The average (RMS) distance that the ant moves from the starting point of each walk in the x-direction.
The expected total RMS distance from the original starting point after N random walks of n steps each. (This question assumes that the ant would be up to repeating all of the N random walks a large number of times, and the distance would be measured from the start of each set of N walks to the end of each set.)

python / visual studio Problem 1: Random Walk A random walk is a stochastic process. A stochastic process is a series of values that are not determined functionally, but probabilistically. The random walk is supposed to describe an inebriated person who, starting from the bar, intends to walk home, but because of intoxication instead randomly takes single steps either forward or backward, left or right. The person has no memory of any steps taken, so theoretically, the person shouldn't move...

A random walk is a particular kind of probabilistic (pseudo-random) simulation that models certain statistical systems, such as Brownian motion of particles or molecules. Coin flipping is an example of a one-dimensional random walk--one dimensional because you only can go forward (when you flip heads) or backward (when you flip tails) along a straight line. Suppose you take a random walk of nsteps. How many steps away from your starting point would you expect to end up on average, if...
LSM 5 Part C. Suppose that you are walking on a straight line. You start at position Xo , and only walk in the positive direction. Your positions after taking the ith step is denoted by X,. For each step, your step size, denoted by S, . X,-X,-ı , is a random variable uniformly distributed between 1 foot and 2 feet. Assume that sizes of different steps are mutually independent 8. (10 credits) Let X, be your position after taking...
10 and 11 please LSM 5 Part C. Suppose that you are walking on a straight line. You start at position Xo =0, and only walk in the positive direction. Your positions after taking the ith step is denoted by X,. For each step, your step size, denoted by S, feet. Assume that sizes of different steps are m 8. (10 credits) Let Xy be your position after taking N steps where N is a given = X,-X,-, is a...
So, how do we describe diffusive motion? If a particular object moves a distance Ar from its original location (displacement) in a time Δ t, we cannot write down an equation that precisely relates dr and Δ, since the direction and distance moved by the object between collisions with the fluid particles is random and the time between collisions is also random. Because of these random effects, a particular object has very little chance of ever returning to the position...
please show steps Two plates, one black (perfectly absorbing) and one mirrored (perfectly reflecting), are affixed one at each end of a 9 cm rod, which is then suspended at its center from a torsion balance (see figure below). The plates are squares whose sides are of length 0.5 cm. A point light source is then placed at a distance 5 m away from the rod, as shown below. The point light source radiates an average power of 41 kW....
Write a simulation of zombies/walkers that move randomly in one dimension. Each walker begins at the origin and at each time-step it takes a step to the right or left with equal probability, so that Pright= 0.5, Pleft= 0.5. Use a lattice of spacing x =1 and discrete time-steps, t= 1. Number of steps in each walk: 20 Number of walkers: 10.000 Please make your own algorithm for this simulation. Note: You will need to use a random number generator....
could someone help me understand these problems, the proper steps to solve them please. 1) A person walks first at a constant speed of 1.35 m/s along a straight line from point to point and then back along the line from B to at a constant speed of 0.75 m/s. It takes the person 100s to walk from point @to point . a) What is her average speed over the entire trip? (10 points) b) What is her average velocity...
PLEASE HELP ME AND SHOW STEPS. THANK YOU 1) It is desined to step up a vollage of 120 V to 96,000 v. The turns ratio N/N, of the transformer a) I/28 b) (64 x 10y )28 d) 8001 if the voltage is stepped that power is not lost in an ideal transformer, consider the situation in the above question. 2) Starting from the idea t up 800 times, the current is a) the same, since power is the same...
