Answer:
Explanation:
Initial moment of inertia of the earth I₁ = 2/5 MR² , M is mss of the earth and R is the radius . If ice melts , it forms an equivalent shell of mass 2.3 x 10¹⁹ Kg
Final moment of inertia I₂ = 2/5 M R² + 2/3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²
For change in period of rotation we shall apply conservation of angular momentum law
I₁ ω₁ = I₂ ω₂ , ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocities initially and finally .
I₁ / I₂ = ω₂ / ω₁
I₁ / I₂ = T₁ / T₂ , T₁ , T₂ are time period initially and finally .
T₂ / T₁ = I₂ / I₁
(2/5 M R² + 2/3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²) / 2/5 MR²
1 + 5 / 3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / M
= 1 + 5 / 3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / 5.97 x 10²⁴
= 1 + .0000064
T₂ = 24 (1 + .0000064)
= 24 hours + .55 s
change in length of the day = .55 s .
Answer:
B. - 0.328
Explanation
Potential Energy:<em> This is the energy of a body due to position.</em>
<em>The S.I unit of potential energy is Joules (J).</em>
<em>It can be expressed mathematically as</em>
<em>Ep = mgh........................... Equation 1</em>
<em>Where Ep = potential energy, m = mass of the coin, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity,</em>
<em>Given: m = 2.74 g = 0.00274 kg, h = 12.2 m, g = 9.8 m/s²</em>
Substituting these values into equation 1
Ep = 0.00274×12.2×9.8
Ep = 0.328 J.
Note: Since the potential energy at the surface is zero, the potential Energy with respect to the surface = -0.328 J
The right option is B. - 0.328

Answer:
Distance of 400m.
Explanation:
Use your kinematics equation to solve for distance (we can use kinematics b/c acceleration is constant).
d = (initial velocity x time) + 1/2 at^2
d = (20 x 10) + 1/2 (4) (10)^2
d = 200 + 200
d = 400 m
Answer: Air
Explanation: Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Air and hydrogen have nearly the same elastic properties, but the density of hydrogen is less than that of air. Sound thus travels faster (about 4 times as fast) in hydrogen than in air.
