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!

Dying of cancer, Janice promises God that she will devote her life to the church if He lets her live. According to Kübler-Ross,
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Bargaining

Explanation:

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross developed a theory according to which people go through 5 different stages in the process of dying and grief:

  1. Denial: First, the person cannot accept the diagnosis from the doctors or can think there is a mistake and that he/she cannot be dying.
  2. Anger: In this stage, the person gets angry, usually at God, and gets upset and often wonders why is this happening to him/her.
  3. Bargaining: During this stage, the person says <u>she would do anything in exchange for not dying, he/she will make promises</u> (go to church, be a better person) to survive. These promises are usually made to God.
  4. Depression: The person accepts that bargaining will not work and will start a process of sadness, starting to recognize the reality of death.
  5. Acceptance: The person has come to terms with the fact that he/she is going to die and starts saying her goodbyes and reviews the life he/she has lived and makes arrangements referring to her/his death.

In this example, Janice is dying of cancer and she promises God that she will devote her life to church if he lets her live. We can see that s<u>he is bargaining and promising something in exchange for not dying</u>. Therefore, we can see that she is exhibiting the response of bargaining.
