To find the distance the surface of the Earth has moved in 150 seconds, we can use the proportion:
Distance in 10 seconds / 10 = Distance in 150 seconds / 150
Simplifying the equation, we have:
4600 meters / 10 = Distance in 150 seconds / 150
Solving for the distance in 150 seconds, we get:
Distance in 150 seconds = (4600 meters / 10) * 150
Distance in 150 seconds = 4600 meters * 15
Distance in 150 seconds = 69,000 meters
Therefore, the surface of the Earth at the equator has moved 69,000 in 150 seconds.
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?
