Wilhelmina and Darcy are thinking about the possibility of the ice cap at the North Pole melting. Wilhelmina asks Darcy if this

melting will affect the length of an Earth day, and if so, how. Which of Darcy's responses is correct?
a. "When the ice is concentrated at the North Pole, Earth has a lower moment of inertia than when the melted water is distributed on its surface. Because angular momentum is conserved, when the moment of inertia is larger, the angular speed is smaller. This means the day will belong."
b. "When the ice is concentrated at the North Pole, Earth has a lower moment of inertia than when the melted water is distributed on its surface. Because angular momentum is conserved, when the moment of inertia is larger, the angular speed is larger. This means the day will be shorter."
c. "When the ice is concentrated at the North Pole, Earth has a greater moment of inertia than when the melted water is distributed on its surface. Because angular momentum is conserved, when the moment of inertia is larger, the angular speed is smaller. This means the day will be longer."

Answer:

Response A is correct. Day will become longer.                                              

 

Explanation:

The Earth rotates around its axis once a day, but it does not do so uniformly. Instead, the rate of rotation varies by up to a millisecond every day. If its mass is moved away from the rotation axis, the speed of the Earth’s rotation will decrease.

The concept is known as Angular Momentum.

This effect is demonstrated by skaters who can increase or decrease the speed of their spin by how much their limbs is extended.

The melting of the Ice Cap at the North Pole into the ocean  will cause the Earth to rotate more slowly, with the day becoming longer than it is today, by about two milliseconds.

Cheers!

Which of these describes a member of an ethnic group?
tatiyna

Answer:

Answer B Pierre speaks French

Explanation:

Answer B is the best answer because oxford dictionary defines Ethnicity as "the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition" Pierre speaking French is a very common national tradition (assuming he is in France). This questions is a difficult one because all of these seem like an ethnic group but since people that belong to a religion would be part of a religious group instead of an ethnic group that leads me to believe that Answer B is the correct answer.

Hope this helps

Answer:

Binocular  

Explanation:

Binocular, is information taken in by two eyes binocular versus monocular. By collecting the information from both the eyes and integrating it. Your brain is constructing a three-dimensional interpretation of the world. But three-d is another perception that is interpreted by depth perception that is called stereo psis. Binocular cues give us the natural ability to determine in space objects that sit relative to our bodies. Our sense of depth perception enables us to discern where to place our feet if the ground is sloping up and down. It determines how far are the objects from us. Depth perception allows us to discriminate between things far and near.
