Question

A bomb explosion displaces the oil in a well from 975 m deep and raises it to a deposit place 48 m above ground level. How far does the oil displace?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance that oil is displaced is 1023 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A well of oil with depth 975 m and a deposit place 48 m above ground level.

To find: The displacement of Oil.

Displacement is the Total distance and shortest cover from initial position to final position.

Here Initial position is depth of well and final position is deposit place.

⇒ Distance that oil is displaced is distance cover from depth to ground level and then distance from ground level to deposit place

⇒ Distance that oil Displaced = 975 + 48

                                                 = 1023 m

Therefore, The distance that oil is displaced is 1023 m.
