Suppose the ice caps at the South and North poles melted due to the global warming and the water was distributed uniformly over

the earth's oceans. Would the earth angular velocity increase, decrease, or remain the same? Would each day get shorted or longer as compared to the current days? Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

The Earth rotates about its axis once a day. Instead, the rate of rotation varies by up to a millisecond per day. The speed of the Earth’s rotation will increase if its mass is brought closer to its axis of rotation, that is net movement of mass. Conversely, the speed of the Earth’s rotation will decrease if its mass is moved away from the rotation axis.

Yes the days would be longer. Since the ice that was at the South Pole is now distributed around the world, there is a change in the distribution of mass.

Jenny and Alyssa are members of the cross-country team. On a training run, Jenny starts off and runs at a constant 3.8 m/s. Alys
guapka [62]

Answer:

285 seconds

Explanation:

Jenny speed is 3.8 m/s

Alyssa speed in 4.0 m/s

Alyssa starts after 15 seconds

Find the distance covered by Jenny, when Alyssa starts

Distance=Speed*time

Distance covered by Jenny in 15 seconds= 3.8×15=57m

Relative speed of the two members heading same direction will be;

4.0m/s-3.8m/s=0.2m/s

To find the time Alyssa catch up with Jenny you divide the distance to be covered by Alyssa by the relative speed of the two

Distance=57m, relative speed=0.2m/s  t=57/0.2 =285 seconds

=4.75 minutes

storchak [24]

Answer:

c. Both forces have equal magnitudes.

Explanation:

According to Newton´s 3rd Law, the force exerted by a body on another one , is equal and opposite to the one that the second object exerts on the first one.

This does not depend on the masses of the objects, so it doesn´t matter that m₁ be greater than m₂.

As examples of this, we can mention the gravity force, the electrostatic force, the normal force, etc.

So, in this case, taking into account only the magnitudes, we can say:

F₁₂ = F₂₁
