To find out how far the surface of the Earth at the equator has moved in 150 seconds, we can start by determining the distance it moves per second based on the information provided.
The surface moves 4,600 meters in 10 seconds, so we can calculate the distance per second as follows:
\[ \text{Distance per second} = \frac{4,600 \text{ meters}}{10 \text{ seconds}} = 460 \text{ meters per second} \]
Now, we can find the total distance moved in 150 seconds:
\[ \text{Distance in 150 seconds} = \text{Distance per second} \times \text{Time} \] \[ \text{Distance in 150 seconds} = 460 \text{ meters/second} \times 150 \text{ seconds} = 69,000 \text{ meters} \]
So, the surface has moved 69,000 meters in 150 seconds.
The correct response is:
69,000 meters.
