The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion.
Assume that the North American continent can be represented by a slab of rock 4450 km on a side and 31 km deep and that the rock has an average mass density of 2620 kg/m3.
The continent is moving at the rate of about 1 cm/year.
What is the mass of the continent? Answer in units of kg.
(part 2 of 3)
What is the kinetic energy of the continent? Answer in units of J.
(part 3 of 3)
A jogger (of mass 77 kg) has the same kinetic energy as that of the continent.
What would his speed be? Answer in units of m/s.

Why do scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles? scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles because only the presence of photons can explain phenomena observed during experiments on the photoelectric effect. these observations include only some frequencies of light causing the ejection of electrons, no time gap existing between light striking a metal and electrons being ejected, and intensity having no effect on the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.
