The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us what the continents are in constant motion. Assume that the North American continent can be represented by a slab of rock 5850km on a side and 35km deep and that the rock has an average mass density of 2750kg/m^3. The continent is moving at the rate of about 3.2cm/year. what is the kinetic energy of the continent ? answer in the units of J

Large electric fields in cell membranes cause ions to move through the cell wall. the field strength in a typical membrane is 1.0 x 10 7 n/c. what is the magnitude of the force on a calcium ion with charge +e? what is its acceleration? is it possible for a particle with the same charge as as calcium to have a different acceleration if placed at this location? what would change the acceleration: mass of the particle? diameter of the particle?
