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!

Lena [83]

Answer:

The fallacy found in the argument is:

e. slippery slope.

Explanation:

A fallacy is a flawed way of reasoning that ends up invalidating an argument. In the paragraph we are analyzing here, the type of fallacy used is called slippery slope.

Slippery slope is a reasoning that, from little evidence, develops a whole sequence of events that get more and more serious. It often ends with a catastrophic consequence. In this case, the speaker goes from a child wanting a slingshot to that child, in the future, owning several different types of heavy weapons.
