If the polar ice capsmelted, how might this effect the length of the day?

Physics

Inessa [10]4 years ago
3 0

Answer: It will increase the length of the day

Explanation: The polar ice caps contain the solid ice particles found around the polar regions,an increased temperature is a major cause of the melting of the polar ice Caps. When the polar ice caps melt especially in huge volumes they increase the amount of water flowing into the Sea this will cause a rise in the volume of the sea.

This rise in sea level will add some weights to Earth, making the Earth to rotate slightly lower than its normal speed,a slower rotation will lead to longer days.

A man stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a rock downward with A speed of 12.0 m s . Sometimes later it strikes the ground
kvasek [131]

B) 48.0 m/s

We can actually start to solve the problem from B for simplicity.

The motion of the rock is a uniformly accelerated motion (free fall), so we can find the final speed using the following suvat equation

v^2 -u^2 = 2as

where

v is the final velocity

u = 12.0 is the initial velocity (positive since we take downward as positive direction)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

s = 110 m is the vertical displacement

Solving for v, we find the final velocity (and so, the speed of the rock at impact):

v = \sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{12^2+2(9.8)(110)}=48.0 m/s

A) 3.67 s

Now we can find the time of flight of the rock by using the following suvat equation

v=u+at

where

v = 48.0 is the final velocity at the moment of impact

u = 12.0 is the initial velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time it takes for the rock to reach the ground

And solving for t, we find

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{48.0-12.0}{9.8}=3.67 s

Do you think that rubbing two pieces of woods together would have more or less friction than wood rubbing against smooth metal ?
jek_recluse [69]

I think rubbing two pieces of woods together will have more friction than wood rubbing against a smooth metal.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The friction offered by surfaces has a great role in deciding the ease of movement of objects along the surface.

The friction of the surface depends upon its roughness. Rough surfaces offer greater friction than smooth surfaces.

In this question wooden pieces have greater friction than that of smooth metal. So rubbing two wooden pieces together will have greater friction than rubbing a wooden piece against a smooth metal.

A coil has an inductance of 2.00 mH, and the current in it changes from 0.200 A to 1.50 A in a time interval of 0.150 s. Find th
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

0.0173 V

Explanation:

PARAMETERS GIVEN:

Inductance, L = 2 mH = 0.002 H

Time interval, dt = 0.15 s

Change in current, dI = 1.5 - 0.2 = 1.3 A

The magnitude of the induced EMF is given as:

EMF = | -L*dI/dt |

EMF = (0.002 * 1.3) / 0.15

EMF = 0.0173 V
