Answer:  91.4 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its motion.

K.E. = 0.5 m v²

Mass of the continent is given, m = 1.819 × 10²¹ kg

Side of the block of continent, s = 4150 km = 4150000 m

Depth of the block of continent, d = 38 km = 38000 m

(Mass = density × volume

m = 2780 kg/m³× (4150 × 10³ m)²× 38 × 10³ m = 1.819 × 10²¹ kg)

The continent is moving at the rate of, v = 1 cm /year = 0.01 m / 31556926 s = 3.17 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

⇒ K.E. = 0.5 × 1.819 × 10²¹ kg × (3.17 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²= 91.4 J

Hence, mass of the continent has 91.4 J of kinetic energy.

What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?
konstantin123 [22]
The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers -  troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere,  stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.

A source charge of 3 µC generates an electric field of 2.86 × 105 N/C at the location of a test charge. Using k = 8.99 × 109N.m^
Nataliya [291]
Variables:

Source charge, Q = 3 micro C = 3 * 10^ - 6 C

E = electric field = 2.86 * 10 ^5 N/C

K = 8.99 * 10^9 N * m^2 / C

d = distance = ?

Formula:

E = K * Q / (d^2) => d^2 = K * Q / E

=> d^2 = 8.99 * 10^9 N * m^2 / C * 3 * 10^ -6 C / (2.86 * 10^ 5 N/C)

d^2 = 9.43 * 10 ^ -2  m^2

=> d = 3.07 * 10^-1 m

Answer: 0.307 m

Note: it is a long distance due to the Electric field is very low
