A train travels 81 kilometers in 2 hours and then 90 kilometers in two hours. wat is the average speed

1 answer:

5 0

I'm assuming your question refers to the train travels 81 km in 2 hours, as in that's the total distance covered versus the speed for those 2 hours, whereas the 90 km in 2 hours the second time around is the total distance not speed I would assume.

Now... if it was going 81 km for the first 2 hours and 90 km for the second 2 hours then the average speed would be the mean of these numbers, with that being 85.5 km. Though, I doubt that's your question.

With that said, 81 km covered by 2 hours and 90 km covered by 2 more hours. To acquire the km an hour average, we'll have to divide the distance by how many hours it traveled:
81 / 2 = 40.5
90 / 2 = 45

Meaning the train was going 40.5 km an hour for the first 2 hours and 45 km an hour for the second 2 hours. Now, to find the mean:
40.5 + 45 = 85.5 / 2 = 42.75

In-case you were wondering, the mean is the sum of all the numbers in a set, divided by the total amount of numbers in that set, take for instance:
3, 5, 9, 2, 1, 5. -> There are 6 numbers in this set.
3 + 5 + 9 + 2 + 1 + 5 = 25 -> 25 is the sum of these numbers.
25 / 6 = 4.2 (estimated) -> 4.2 is roughly the mean or average between the original set.

Anyhow, with that aside the average speed between this I would believe would be 42.75 km an hour. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^

Some homes that use baseboard heating use copper tubing. hot water runs through and heats the copper tubing, which in turn heats

AlekseyPX

When you heat a certain substance with a difference of temperature $\Delta T$ the heat (energy) you must give to it is
$E(=Q) =mc\Delta T$
where $c$ is the specific heat of that substance (given in J/(g*Celsius))
In this case
$E=645*0.3850*(28.22-13.20) =3729.8 (Joule)$

Observation: the specific heat of a substance is given in J/(g*Celsius) or J/(g*Kelvin) because on the temperature scale a difference of 1 degree Celsius = 1 degree Kelvin

One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 X 10-???? m3) covers an area of 25.0 m2. What i the thickne s of the fresh paint on the wall?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Volume of paint is $V=3.79\times 10^{-3}\ m^3$

Area of cover $A=25\ m^2$

Suppose paint to be a rectangular box with thickness t and volume V

therefore we can write as

$V=A\times t$

$t=\frac{V}{A}$

$t=\frac{3.79\times 10^{-3}}{25}$

$t=1.516\times 10^{-3}\ m$

$t=1.516\ mm$

How can a global dependence on fossil fuels have associated social costs?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Global dependence on fossil fuels has associated social costs.

Explanation:

Increased dependence on fossil fuels reduces their availability. When the demand is high and the availability is low, the price rises. Not every nation would then be able to afford buying fossil fuels at such high costs.

Developing and underdeveloped countries would then be left behind and only the wealthy nations would be able to afford fossil fuel purchase. This would be the immediate impact of global dependence on fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are mainly coal, petroleum and natural gas. Since fossil fuels are non-renewable in nature over exploitation may lead to fossil fuels getting exhausted.
