Consider the following statements, all of which are actually true, and select the one that best explains why the moment of inertia of the Earth is actually smaller than the moment of inertia you calculated.

A. The Earth is an oblate spheroid rather than a perfect sphere. For an oblate spheroid, the distance from the center to the equator is a little larger than the distance from the center to the poles. This is a similar shape to a beach ball resting on the ground, being pushed on from above.

B. The Earth does not have uniform density. As the planet formed, the densest materials sank to the center of the Earth. This created a dense iron core. Meanwhile, the lighter elements floated to the surface. The crust of the Earth is considerably less dense than the core.

C. While the Earth currently has a period of 24 hours, it is in fact slowing down. Once it was rotating much faster, giving days that were closer to 20 hours than 24 hours. In the future, it is expected that days will become longer.

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p

Assume that two of the electrons at the negative terminal have attached themselves to a nearby neutral atom. there is now a negative ion with a charge -2e at this terminal. what are the electric potential and electric potential energy of the negative ion relative to the electron? the electric potential and the electric potential energy are both twice as much. the electric potential is twice as much and the electric potential energy is the same. the electric potential is the same and the electric potential energy is twice as much. the electric potential and the electric potential energy are both the same. the electric potential is the same and the electric potential energy is increased by the mass ratio of the oxygen ion to the electron. the electric potential is twice as much and the electric potential energy is increased by the mass ratio of the oxygen ion to the electron.
