in california the pacific plate slides past the north american plate. If the pcific plate is moving at a speed of 5 centimeters per year, how long will take for the plate to travel 100 meters

6.34×10⁹ seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

V = d/t Equation 1

Where V = speed plate, d =  distance covered by the plate, t = time it takes the plate to travel

make t the subject of the equation

t = d/V Equation 2

From the question,

Given: d = 5 cm/yr = (5×3.154×10⁻⁹) = 1.577×10⁻⁸ m/s,  d = 100 meter

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = 100/1.577×10⁻⁸

t = 6.34×10⁹ seconds

Hence the time it takes the the plate to travel is 6.34×10⁹ seconds

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
