The movement of the Australian plate pushes Australia north at an average speed of about 17 cm per year. What will Australia's displacement be in meters in 1000 years?

Respuesta :

Answer: 170m

Explanation:

V=d/t

V= velocity

D= displacement

T=time

D=v*t

D=17*1000

D= 17000cm

Convert to metres

D= 17000/100

D= 170m

Australia's displacement will be 170 meters in 1000 years.]

Speed

Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to total time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Given that speed = 17 cm per year and time = 1000 years, hence:

17 = distance / 1000

distance = 17000 cm = 170 m

Australia's displacement will be 170 meters in 1000 years.
