Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

-- Traveling at 40 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 40 miles.

-- Traveling at 60 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 60 miles.

-- Total distance covered = (40 miles) + (60 miles) = 100 miles

-- Total time = (1 hour) + (1 hour) = 2 hours

-- Average speed = (100 miles) / (2 hours)

<em>Average speed = 50 miles per hour</em>

Does the rankine degree represent a larger or smaller temperature unit than the kelvin degree

zvonat [6]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the first choice, larger.

Rankine is Fahrenheit + 460 , while Kelvin is Celsius + 273. We all know that Fahrenheit has larger number compared to kelvin , thus rankine is much larger.
Hope my answer would be a great help for you. If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.

__________ helps us adapt to our environment. It also generally __________ with age. A. Plasticity . . . decreases B. Developmen

Nana76 [90]

Not sure this is a physics question (probably biology).
Anyway, the correct answer is A):
"Plasticity helps us to adapt to our environment. It also generally decreases with age".
Plasticity is the ability to adapt to the environment. Since this ability is linked with brain functions, and brain functions worsen with age, then plasticity decreases with age.

Nova, whose mass is 50kg drops 2 K, what is the amount of heat lost from Nova's body? (specific heat of the human body is 3470 J

Alex17521 [72]

Use the equation q=mc/\T, where q is the heat lost, m is mass, and /\T is the change in temperature, and c is the specific heat.
q=50kg(3470J/kg K)(2K)
q=<span>347000 J

Any other questions, just ask.

Steam at 0.6 MPa, 200 oC, enters an insulated nozzle with a velocity of 50 m/s. It leaves at a pressure of 0.15 MPa and a veloci

Answer:

x2 = 0.99

Explanation:

from superheated water table

at pressure p1 = 0.6MPa and temperature 200 degree celcius

h1 = 2850.6 kJ/kg

From energy equation we have following relation

$\dot m( h1+\frac{v1^2}{2}+ gz1 )+ Q = \dot m( h2+\frac{v2^2}{2}+ gz1) + W$

$\dot m( h1+\frac{v1^2}{2}) = \dot m( h2+\frac{v2^2}{2})$

$h1+\frac{v1^2}{2} = h2+\frac{v2^2}{2}$

$2850.6 + [\frac{50^2}{2} * \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/S^2}] = h2 +[ \frac{600^2}{2} * \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/S^2}]$

h2 = 2671.85 kJ/kg

from superheated water table

at pressure p2 = 0.15MPa

specific enthalpy of fluid hf = 467.13 kJ/kg

enthalpy change hfg = 2226.0 kJ/kg

specific enthalpy of the saturated gas hg = 2693.1 kJ/kg

as it can be seen from above value hf>h2>hg, so phase 2 is two phase region. so we have

quality of steam x2

h2 = hf + x2(hfg)

2671.85 = 467.13 +x2*2226.0

x2 = 0.99
