the earth has more rotational kinetic energy now than did the cloud of gas and dust from which it formed. where did this energy
goldfiish [28.3K]

Explanation:

Earth or any planet are actually born from huge clouds of gas and dust. Their stellar mass are fairly distributed at a radius from the axis of rotation. Gravitational force cause the cloud to come together. Now the whole gathered in smaller area. Now, individual particles come close to the roational axis. Thus, decreasing the moment of inertia of the planet.

As

I=mr^2

reducing r reduces I. However, the angular moment of the system remains always conserved. So, to conserve the angular momentum the angular velocity of the planet increases and so did the  otational kinetic energy

When the temperature of ice-cold water is increased slightly, does it undergo a net expansion or net contraction?
miss Akunina [59]

From the freezing temperature up to about 4°C (39°F) the water CONTRACTS.  That is, it becomes MORE dense.  I think I read that water is the ONLY known substance whose solid phase floats in its liquid phase.  That's why the cubes float in your soda and bergs float in the ocean.  And if weren't so, then life on Earth would not be possible !  Oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, ONE TIME, and then never thaw again.
