The curre 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 4700 km on a side and 28 km deep and that the rock has an average mass density of 2940 kg / (m ^ 3) The continent is moving at the rate of about 4.2 cm / y * e * a * r . What is the mass of continent ? Answer in units of kg
What is the kinetic energy of the continent
a jogger (75kg) has the same kinetic energy what would his speed be?
