I think he correct term to fill in the blank would be heat sink. The CPU might be covered by a heat sink, which dissipates the heat generated by the chip. A heat sink is any device or a substance that absorbs heat generated or from the heat reservoir. For a device, it would be one that has a fan or a peltier device in order to keep a system having a cool temperature. This is done to protect a system from any damage due to excess heat. This protect any device from overheating. A CPU surely have this device because it should be kept cool to protect the chips inside it.

Traveling at an average rateaverage rate of between 50 and 60 miles per hour for 4 to 7 hours select the best estimate for the d
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

best close estimate distance is 315 miles

Explanation:

given data

speed v1 = 50 miles per hour

speed v2 = 60 miles  per hour

time t1 = 4 hr

time t2 = 7 hr

to find out

best estimate for the distance traveled

solution

we know lower end distance

distance = v1 × t1

distance = 50 × 4 = 200 miles

and

upper end distance

distance = v2 × t2

distance = 60 × 7 = 420 miles

so middle value distance is

v = 55 miles per hour and t = 5.5 hours

distance = v × t  

distance = 55 × 5.5

distance = 302.5 miles

so best close estimate distance is 315 miles
