The glacier will move 976.8 cm when it advances at 7.4 7.4×10⁻⁶ cm/s in 4.2 y
From the question above when we talk about how far, is still the same as distance.
Applying the equation of velocity,
V = d/t................... Equation 1
Where V = velocity, d = distance, t = time
make d the subject of equation 1
d = Vt................ Equation 2
From the question,
Given: V = 7.4×10⁻⁶ cm/s, t = 4.2 year = (4.2×3.154×10⁷) seconds = 1.32×10⁸ seconds
Substitute these values into equation 2
d = (7.4×10⁻⁶)(1.32×10⁸)
d = 9.768×10² cm
d = 976.8 cm
Hence the glacier will advances 976.8 cm
