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.
Gravity is the energy due to Earth pulling down on an object.

Answer:
Time of flight=3.5 seconds
Speed at maximum height is 0
Explanation:
Φ=60°
initial velocity=u=20m/s
Acceleration due to gravity=g=9.8 m/s^2
Total time of flight=T
Final speed=v
question 1:
T=(2 x u x sinΦ)/g
T=(2 x 20 x sin60)/9.8
T=(2 x 20 x 0.8660)/9.8
T=34.64/9.8
T=3.5 seconds
Question 2
Speed at maximum height is 0
