A glacier advances at 3.9x 10 -6 cm/s. How far will it move in 50000s? How far will it move in 3.3y? Answer in units of cm.
d = V*t.
To find out how far the glacier will move, we need to use the formula:
Distance = Speed x Time
Given that the glacier advances at a speed of 3.9x10^-6 cm/s, we can now calculate the distance it will move in each of the given time periods.
1. Distance in 50000 seconds:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = (3.9x10^-6 cm/s) x (50000 s)
Distance = 1.95 x 10^-1 cm
Therefore, the glacier will move 1.95 x 10^-1 cm in 50000 seconds.
2. Distance in 3.3 years:
First, we need to convert years to seconds.
1 year = 365 days = 365 x 24 hours = 365 x 24 x 60 minutes = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 seconds
3.3 years = 3.3 x (365 x 24 x 60 x 60) seconds
Now, we can calculate the distance:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = (3.9x10^-6 cm/s) x (3.3 x (365 x 24 x 60 x 60) s)
Calculating this value will give us the distance the glacier will move in 3.3 years in units of cm.
