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

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! ^ ^

How does increased pressure result in the formation of a mineral?
drek231 [11]
The best answer is 
A) <span>The atoms in the mineral get rearranged

Over time, and under great pressure, the atoms of a substance can become rearranged, forming a new substance. For example, the intense pressure that carbon underground experiences, perhaps in the form of coal, can rearrange the atoms of the substance to create a diamond. </span>

A tank of volume 0.25 ft is designed to contain 50 standard cubic feet of air. The temperature is 80° F.Calculate the pressure i
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The inside Pressure of the tank is 4499.12 lb/ft^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Volume of tank, V = 0.25 ft^{3}

The capacity of tank, V' = 50ft^{3}

Temperature, T' = 80^{\circ}F = 299.8 K

Temperature, T = 59^{\circ}F = 288.2 K

Now, from the eqn:

PV = nRT                      (1)

Volume of the gas in the container is constant.

V = V'

Similarly,

P'V' = n'RT'                       (2)

Also,

The amount of gas is double of the first case in the cylinder then:

n' = 2n

\]frac{n'}{n} = 2

where

n and n' are the no. of moles

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

\frac{PV}{P'V'} = \frac{nRT}{n'RT'}

P' = 2P\frac{T'}{T} = 2\times 2116\times \frac{299.8}{288.2} = 4499.12 lb/ft^{2}

¿Qué ocurre como consecuencia de las corrientes de convección en la astenosfera?
Vladimir [108]

Respuesta:En la astenosfera existen lentos movimientos de convección que explican la deriva continental. Además, el basalto de la astenosfera fluye por extrusión a lo largo de las dorsales oceánicas, lo cual hace que se renueve y expanda constantemente el fondo oceánico. :D
