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
