A plate moves 2 km over a million years. A quarter of the way through this million-year timespan (at 250,000 years), the velocity was 5 mm/year. What is the instantaneous velocity at 250,000 years and the finite velocity for the entire million-year timespan

Answer :

The instantaneous velocity at 250,000 years is; 5 mm/year

The Finite Velocity for the entire million year timespan is; 2mm/year

Finite and Instantaneous Velocity

The instantaneous velocity is simply defined as the rate of change of displacement with time which is the velocity at a specific period of time.

We are told that the velocity at 250,000 years is 5 mm/year.

Thus;

Instantaneous velocity = 5 mm/year

Finite velocity for the entire 1 million year timespan is;

v = 2000000/1000000

v = 2 mm/year
