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.

Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago

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.

How does a solenoid convert energy from one form to another?​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.

A pan of ice is placed over a flame.
AveGali [126]
A. The molecules start packed together very tightly in a solid. Then when it turns to water, the molecules can move around each other freely, but still contained. When water turns to vapor, the molecules are going crazy moving around. They are not contained at all and bounce of of each other freely.

b. The temperature rises. (ice turns to water at 33 degrees and water turns to vapor at 212 degrees)
