Answer:

Not possible

Explanation:

Suppose there's no external force, then the momentum must be conserved before and after the collision.

Since momentum is defined as the product of object mass and speed. This means that if after the collision, for both object to be at rest then the total momentum is 0.

But before the collision, only 1 is at rest, the other is not -> the total momentum is non 0 before the collision.

Therefor this is not possible with the law of momentum conservation.

Answer:

$3.2048179721\times 10^{-9}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Assuming that the pacific plate moved 178 km in 1.76 million years.

s = Distance = 178 km

t = Time taken = 1.76 million years

Speed is given by

$v=\dfrac{s}{t}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{178000}{1.76\times 10^6\times 365.25\times 24\times 3600}\\\Rightarrow v=3.2048179721\times 10^{-9}\ m/s$

The speed of the plate is $3.2048179721\times 10^{-9}\ m/s$
