in 10 seconds, the surface of the earth at the equator has moved 4,600 meters. how far has the surface moved in 150 seconds?

Answer 1

To find out how far the surface has moved in 150 seconds, we can set up a proportion using the given information.

In 10 seconds, the surface moves 4,600 meters.

So in 1 second, the surface moves 4,600 meters / 10 seconds = 460 meters.

Therefore, in 150 seconds, the surface would move 460 meters/second * 150 seconds = 69,000 meters.

Therefore, the surface has moved 69,000 meters in 150 seconds.
