How would decreasing the time it takes you to run a certain distance affect your speed?

In a vernier instrument the main scale is in 1/2 mm divisions .vernier is made by redividing 19 such divisions into 20 equal parts. calculate the least count of the instrument.

Asteam power plant operates on an ideal reheat rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 15 mpa and 10 kpa. the mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 12 kg/s. steam enters both stages of the turbine at 500°c. if the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed 10 percent, determine (a) the pressure at which reheating takes place, (b) the total rate of heat input in the boiler, and (c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. also, show the cycle on a t-s diagram with respect to the saturation lines. (2.15 mpa; 45.0 mw; 42.6%)

By what primary heat transfer mechanism does the sun warm the earth?
