Calculate the average velocity in m/y of a tectonic plate that has travelled 9000 km to the south in 60 million years

The average velocity of the tectonic plate that has travelled 9000 km to the south in 60 million years is 0.15 m/y

Average velocity can be obtained by dividing the total displacement travelled by the total time taken to cover the displacement. This can be obtained expressed as:

Total Displacement = 9000 km due south

= 9000 × 1000 = 9000000 m

Total time = 60 million years

= 60000000 years

Therefore, the average velocity of the tectonic plate is 0.15 m/y.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
