Why is Florida more vulnerable to the effects of climate change?

AURORKA [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of Florida, the land surface is also sinking. If the oceans and atmosphere continue to warm, sea level along the Florida coast is likely to rise one to four feet in the next century. Rising sea level submerges wetlands and dry land, erodes beaches, and exacerbates coastal flooding.

A bowling ball is far from uniform. Lightweight bowling balls are made of a relatively low-density core surrounded by a thin she

Leni [432]

Answer:

Part a)

$I = 17.4 \times 10^{-3} kg m^2$

Part b)

$I = 14.9 \times 10^{-3} kg m^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

Moment of inertia of the core of the ball

$I_1 = \frac{2}{5}m_1r_1^2$

$I_1 = \frac{2}{5}(1.6)((\frac{0.196}{2})^2)$

$I_1 = 6.14 \times 10^{-3} kg m^2$

now the moment of inertia for thin shell

$I_2 = \frac{2}{3} m_2r_2^2$

$I_2 = \frac{2}{3}(1.6)((\frac{0.206}{2})^2)$

$I_2 = 11.3 \times 10^{-3} kg m^2$

now total inertia of the ball is given as

$I = I_1 + I_2$

$I = 17.4 \times 10^{-3} kg m^2$

Part b)

Moment of inertia of uniform ball of mass 3.2 kg

$I = \frac{2}{5} mr^2$

$I = \frac{2}{5}(3.2)((\frac{0.216}{2})^2)$

$I = 14.9 \times 10^{-3} kg m^2$
