<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>
Density
is defined as a relation between mass
and volume
:
(1)
Where:
is the average density of the continent
is the mass of the continent
is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:

Finding the mass:
(2)
(3)
(4) This is the mass of the continent
<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>
Kinetic energy
is given by the following equation:
(5)
Where:
is the mass of the continent
is the velocity of the continent
(6)
(7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent
<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>
If we have a jogger with mass
and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent
, we can find its velocity by isolating
from (5):
(6)
Finally:
This is the speed of the jogger
The time taken for the athlete to finish the race is 20 s (Option A)
<h3>What is power? </h3>
Power is simply defined as the rate at which work is done. It can be expressed mathematically as
Power (P) = work (W) / time (t)
But
Work = weight × distance
Therefore,
Power = (weight × distance ) / time
<h3>How to determine the time </h3>
- Mass (m) = 55 Kg
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Weight = mg = 55 × 9.8 = 539 N
- Power (P) = 5.4 KW = 5.4 × 1000 = 5400 W
- Distance (d) = 200 m
- Time (t) =?
Power = (weight × distance ) / time
5400 = (539 × 200) / t
5400 = 107800 / t
Cross multiply
5400 × t = 107800
Divide both side by 5400
t = 107800 / 5400
t = 20 s

The higher you go the more potential energy there is, and the lower it is the more kinetic energy there is, so the more kinetic energy there is the higher the ball will bounce.
Answer:
The new Coulomb force is q₁q₂/9πε₀r²
Explanation
The coulomb force between the two charges q₁ and q₂ at a distance r in air is given by F = q₁q₂/4πε₀r².
Now, let us assume the material of dielectric constant κ = 9 is placed between them on the side of the q₁ charge. The value of its effective charge is now q₃ = q₁/κ at a distance of d = r/2 from the q₂ charge.
Since we have air between q₂ and q₃, the coulomb force between them is
F' = q₂q₃/4πε₀d²
= q₂(q₁/κ)/4πε₀(r/2)²
= 4q₂q₁/κ4πε₀r²
= 4/κ(q₂q₁/4πε₀r²)
= 4/9 × (q₂q₁/4πε₀r²)
= q₁q₂/9πε₀r²
So, the new Coulomb force is q₁q₂/9πε₀r²
I think it’s speed will increase, if I understood it correctly
