in 10 sec the surface at the equator has moved 4,600 meters how far has the surface moved in 150 sec

1 answer

To find out how far the surface has moved in 150 seconds, we can first determine the speed of the surface movement based on the given distance in 10 seconds.

Distance moved in 10 seconds = 4,600 meters

Speed = Distance / Time = 4600 meters / 10 seconds = 460 meters/second.

Now, we can calculate the distance moved in 150 seconds using the speed:

Distance = Speed × Time = 460 meters/second × 150 seconds = 69,000 meters.

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