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.

This is Kinematics and the equations in your book.

A speed time graph would plot the speed of something against the teime it was at a speed.

If it were changing it speed constantly, that would be a straight line if acclerating. Total distrance would be the area under the graph.

scoundrel [369]
The answer is D) absorb most of the light that falls on them

A blackbody is an object that absorbs most (theoretically all) of the light that falls on it. Stars are called black bodies because they demonstrate something close to this property. Why do they appear white and not black? As black body radiators heat up, they slowly turn from black to grey to white, according to the human eye. Since stars are incredibly hot, they appear white to us.
