The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called tectonic plates, tells us that the continents are in constant motion. Assume that the North American continent can be represented by a slab of rock 4400 km on a side and 35 km deep and that the rock has an average mass density of 2680 kg/m^3. the continent is moving at the rate of about 3 cm/year. part 1: what is the mass of the continent? answer in units of kg

part 2: what is the kinetic energy of the continent? answer in units of J

part 3: a jogger (of mass 69 kg) has the same kinetic energy as that of the continent, what would his speed be? answer in units of m/s

The magnitude of the amount of energy released by burning a fuel source, measured in energy per unit mass, is called its fuel value. note that the fuel value is the negative of the isobaric specific heat of combustion for the fuel. if all the energy obtained from burning 1.23 pounds of butane with a fuel value of 10.85 kcal/g is used to heat 128.0 kg of water at an initial temperature of 18.3 °c, what is the final temperature? note that 1 lb = 453.6 g.
