Question

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

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

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.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find out how far the surface of the Earth at the equator has moved in 150 seconds, we can use a proportional relationship.

We know that in 10 seconds, the surface moves 4,600 meters.

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

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

So, the surface of the Earth at the equator will have moved 69,000 meters in 150 seconds.

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

Let's set up the proportion:

10 seconds corresponds to 4,600 meters.

x seconds corresponds to the distance we want to find.

The proportion can be written as:

10 seconds / 4,600 meters = x seconds / distance

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:

10 seconds * distance = 4,600 meters * x seconds

10x = 4,600x

Dividing both sides by 10, we get:

x = (4,600 meters * x) / 10

Simplifying the equation, we have:

x = 460 meters * x / 10

Now, we can substitute the value of x into the equation:

x = (460 meters * 150 seconds) / 10

Simplifying, we get:

x = 6900 meters

Therefore, the surface of the Earth has moved 6,900 meters in 150 seconds.
