Answer:

32 bottles

Explanation:

If we create a free body diagram on the child we have his weight and the bouyant force

W-B=0

They must be equal to mantain equilibrium on the body and he can stay floating, this force is equivalent to the weight of water displaced

W=B=Ww

Mg=mg

32 kg=mass of water displaced

1 kilogram per liter (kg/L) is the density of water, this means that 32 Liters of water are displaced and since the bottles can retain 1 liter, the child needs 32 bottles

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Decreasing the distance between Hox and Blox, increasing the mass of Hox, or increasing the mass of Hox and Blox.

Explanation:

The gravity force is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

Or

If we decrease the distance between both planets (Hox and Blox), the gravitational pull between them will increase.  

On the other hand, if we keep the distance between Hox and Blox, but we increase the mass of one of them, or increase the mass of both, the gravitational pull between them will also increase.

An astronomer observes that the wavelength of light from a distant star is shifted toward the red part of the visible spectrum.
balandron [24]

Answer:

The distance between the earth and the star is increasing.

Explanation:

When we observe an object and its electromagnetic radiation has been displaced to blue, it means that it is getting closer to us, causing the light waves it emits to get closer together and its wavelength to decrease towards blue, this is knowm as blueshift.

On the contrary, when an object is rapidly moving away from us, the light waves or electromagnetic radiation it emits have been stretched from their normal wavelength to a longer wavelength, towards the red part of the spectrum. This is known as redshift.

This phenomenon of changes in wavelength and frequency due to movement (whether the source approaches or moves away) is described by the Doppler effect.

So for this case because the light we perceive from the star has moved to the red part of the visible spectrum, we can conclude that it is moving away from the earth, and that the distance between the star and the earth is increasing.

A metal ball with diameter of a half a centimeter and hanging from an insulating thread is charged up with 1010 excess electrons
liraira [26]

When the metals touch together, half the charge of the charged metal flows to the other because the electrons all repel each other. Therefore this also means that each metal ball contains the same amount of electrons. Each ball has 5^10 electrons, this is equivalent to a total charge of:

Q1 = Q2 = (1.602 * 10^-19 coulombs / electron) 5^10 electrons = Q

Q = 1.564 * 10^-12 C

 

Now using the Coulombs law to find for the electric force:

F = k q1 q2 / r^2 = k (Q)^2 / r^2

where k is a contant = 9 * 10^9 N m^2 / C^2

r = the distance of the two metals = 0.2 m

So,

F = (9 * 10^9 N m^2 / C^2) (1.564 * 10^-12 C)^2 / (0.2 m)^2

F = 5.51 * 10^-13 N

 

Since the two metals repel therefore they are the one which exerts the force hence the magnitude must be negative:

<span>F = - 5.51 * 10^-13 N</span>

A certain heat engine extracts 1.30 kJ of heat from a hot temperature reservoir and discharges 0.70 kJ of heat to a cold tempera
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

46%  (0.46)

Explanation:

temperature of hot reservoir (Th) = 1.3 kJ

temperature of COLD reservoir (Tc) = 0.7 kJ

Efficiency = 1 - (Tc/Th)

Efficiency = 1 - (0.7/1.3) = 0.46 = 0.46 x 100 = 46 %
