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:
4.4 seconds
Explanation:
Given:
a = -5.5 m/s²
v₀ = 0 m/s
y₀ = 53 m
y = 0 m
Find: t
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
0 = 53 + 0 + ½ (-5.5) t²
0 = 53 − 2.75 t²
t = 4.39
Rounded to two significant figures, it takes 4.4 seconds for the object to land.
