Answer:
The main difference is that the metastable state is not a state of equilibrium, but a state of non-equilibrium that is maintained for a long time. A metastable state is when the system approaches equilibrium in a very slow manner.
And on the other hand the phase equilibrium as the name says is a state of equilibrium in which there are more than two phases coexisting.
As per the question the total distance is given as 4 km.
We are asked to calculate the average speed.
The time taken by the body to travel each kilometre are 5.9 min,6.2 min.,6.3min. and 6 min. respectively.
The average speed of a body is defined as the ratio of total distance travelled by the body to the total time.
Mathematically the average speed is written as _
V= Total distance/Total time
i.e V = S/T
Where S is the total distance travelled and T is the total time
Here total distance (S)= 4 km
The total time T= (5.9+6.2 +6.3+ 6.0 )minutes
=24.4 min.
Hence average speed V = 4 km/24.4 min
= 0.16 km/min.
Hence the correct option is A .
