To find out how far the surface of the Earth at the equator has moved in 150 seconds, we can first determine the speed of movement based on the given information.
The surface moves 4,600 meters in 10 seconds. To find the speed, we can calculate:
\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{4600 \text{ meters}}{10 \text{ seconds}} = 460 \text{ meters/second} \]
Now, we can use this speed to find the distance moved in 150 seconds:
\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 460 \text{ meters/second} \times 150 \text{ seconds} = 69,000 \text{ meters} \]
Thus, the surface of the Earth at the equator has moved 69,000 meters in 150 seconds.
The correct response is: 69,000 meters
